The sound of shuffling feet from the floor above had rattled Nirmala. “The floor above is empty,” she wondered and asked Bhola to phone Nikhil, “am I losing my mind?”
Unusual occurances at regular interval had shaken Nirmala. Unable to stay inside, Nirmala came out and stood near the front gate. Witnessing the unsual scene, of a group of people pushing a wheel chair bound man by forming a human chain, cheered Nirmala up a bit.
Nirmala hugged her husband tight, as Nikhil returned, and whispered, “lets move out of this place, before any more damage is done.”

Unusual incidents occurring would make me want to leave too. Thank goodness her husband has a lot of common sense – Leave now or something else could happen. Nice story!

You are so good at writing flash fiction that I wish to read more and more of your story but unfortunately it ends as soon as I start getting in the zone.

Micro fictions have word limitation. It kind of ends abruptly. Thank you for reading and leaving a kind comment.

I love these random and instant microfictions. They are super short yet engrossing 🙂
