The warm sunshine danced on his face and his eyelids blinked in the light. His hand unsteadily shielded both eyes as the other groped the ground in an attempt to steady himself. Soon he was sitting with his back propped against the wall.
He looked around his surroundings. The cobbled path, stone
walls and the metallic manhole covers. A
woman walked past, averting her gaze as her steps quickened.
His shirt felt damp under the left pocket. He touched it instinctively and looked at his
fingers coated in a sticky red film.
He was not going to make his appointment.
I am in the middle of a break right now, so actually do not have any appointments to miss (except a FF deadline).

Oh dear... Not a way one wants to wake up!
ReplyDeleteSuggestion: change the eyelids to "his" eyelids...
Oops! Fixed. Thanks for that Dale.
DeleteHe certainly won't make the appointment if people just walk by him. :(
ReplyDeleteWell done.
Sadly people don't want to get involved. Thanks for your comments Sascha.
DeleteOh dear! He's been shot, and no one is going to help? Awful!
ReplyDeleteGood writing, though--you sure pulled me in!

DeleteDear Subroto,
ReplyDeleteNope, not going to make that appointment. Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Not enough time left to make it. Thanks for your comment Rochelle, I am glad you liked it.
DeleteReminds me of stories of Thugee in Varanasi. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteProbably stabbed by a Thug. Thanks for your comments YS, I am glad you liked it.
DeleteBut who shot him and why? Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteCould be a petty crime or something more sinister. Thanks for your comments Iain I am glad you liked it.
DeleteHis appointment seems to be with death.
ReplyDeleteI think you've got it. Thanks for your comments James.
DeleteIt sounds as though he's in deep trouble with the wrong person or people. I also hope someone summons help for him before it's too late. Good writing, Subroto. ---- Suzanne
ReplyDeleteMaybe there is another appointment he needs to keep. Thanks for commenting Suzanne, I am glad you liked it.
