The Net (mini story)

Winner story at Larcenist magazine vol 2 issue 1 contest

Now she does not like him, nor his touch or talk, some times she wonders, how I fell in love with him

But he does not want to loose her, he always says to her, " how beautiful you are, how attractive you are ". he regularly çalls her for meeting, whenever she refuses he threatens her that he will disclose her letters and picture to all,,

She feels herself in a net, and it became painful for her to became an object of his lust .

No, I am not an object, one day she decided,, " I will not tolerate this anymore,"
I have to talk over this today,


She entered his room briskly, looked in his eyes to show her firmness and said,
"I want to ask you till when one will have to suffer for one s single mistake, can you tell,"
Her voice was bold and strong,

He looked silently, rested for a moment and suddenly opened drawer and throw her letter and pictures towards her and said, " one does not has to suffer for one s single mistake any more".

Very tired, very sad, almost wondering at his reaction she came back, immediately went to the looking glass, she watched her self in the mirror and said, "Am I now not as beautiful as young as I was earlier".
And she bursts into tears.

I guess we go through a series of bad experiences to recognize and appreciate a good one.
I could relate with these words as my experience being a boy too has not been that great in matters of heart. But I feel all those experiences have made my eyes better to recognize a good person.
Thanks for inviting and yes you are a soul not your body and that never ages.

You do have a great taken for writing, but I am just curious as to your technique of punctuating? It is very interesting, and makes me wonder..
