THE TWO SIDES OF A COIN

THE TWO SIDES OF A COIN

A Story by Prateeksha Khot
"

The clash of Good and Bad - whether internal or external - is an ongoing process .....

"


MUDTRAP.COM




Good waited patiently. Anytime soon ..... He had remained silent too long to avoid ugly confrontations with Bad. But the line had been crossed. As the hands of the ugly clock struck twelve, Bad collapsed into the room, his condition worse than pitiable . ( 38 )

 " Good, I never thought ........( 4 )

 " Never instigate good. Because if he loses his goodness, the aftermath wouldn't just be bad but downright ugly. " ( 17 )

Author's Note

Prateeksha Khot
This short story was written for the GBU BIZZARO competition. It has not turned out as well as I would have liked it to . But the no of words was a bit of a constraint.

Plz not : Counting of words does not include articles. Atleast that is what our English Professor told us.

This is really interesting to read. Made think like crazy. I think though if you added ambiguity to the story it would have a much deeper meaning. I think pronouns such as he, take away from it in that sense. But other than that, it's really excellent.

Interesting read no doubt, but I do not think the last segment flows well with the first two. It seems to be restating the obvious in a way. As with the review that was featured when I read this piece, a little ambiguity would go a long way in the first two segments, or either just the last one. I'd keep it to one of those two groups to avoid making the piece seem like rabble, but this is just my opinion. Great read all the same.

Wow! This piece really leaves you thinking. Makes me really want to know what happened, what is going to happen and so on.

It definitely leaves you thinking. I believe those are the best stories the ones that have you thinking way after you have read the last word. I think this could even be (if you choose to that is, since I know it was for a contest) longer. You have something here. A great write.

Interesting concept. It's impressive! I like the vagueness of it. It's leaves things open to interpretion. The best stories force the reader to think. I think it's really deep and that picture is AMAZING looking.
