Like every weekend, Radhika and Yatin were out with their cycling club members this saturday. That is when they noticed the board “Private Property, Keep Out.”
“What are they are hiding?” asked Yatin, “why they want everyone out?”
“They are protecting their personal space,” said Radhika, “what’s your problem?”
“Problem is homophobia; obviously, they can’t keep out air, light, birds and animals,” retorted Yatin, “they are against humans.”
“Now you are being facetious!”
“Sure, you would know,” said Yatin sarcastically,” you own one such board!”
“What do you mean?”
“How many men you dated, since your last break up?”
Word count : 99
Feb,7, 2018, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story that includes a sign. It can be a posted sign, a universal sign, a wonder. Go where the prompt leads. More posts related to the prompt may be found here.
Oh! I find that a bit personal on the part of Radhika. 😀 It’s her decision whom she’ll date and for how long.
But, the idea you’ve evoked from that picture is indeed unique. 🙂

Thank you for reading. Certainly it is Radhika’s decision. Her friend was venting his frustration in not been able to make headway with her. May be he attempts were cold shouldered.

In many ways, we put up those protective, “keep out” signs. Good character dialog and story, Abhijit!
