He tried hard, desperately hard, to survive, seeking support from his community, his religion, his people. Once, he had been completely invincible. But then as strong hands came together holding up the proud flag … orange and green .. he died, forever. Where there is unity, strife has to die. He died because they wouldn’t accept him.
*************
Today’s prompt was ‘They said he died because they wouldn’t accept him’. I refuse to mourn on such a happy day and so decided to celebrate the end of strife and all else that’s not well with our country.
HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY!!!!
And with that we come to the end of our week long 55 festival at Marathon Bloggers. What a blast it has been.
Profound!! Loved it 🙂
Thanks and soooo good to see you back in action.
Loved this take
Thanks Monika and thanks for making this 55 week possible.
Here's hoping that this comes true soon. 🙁
One day, I'm sure…
How brave to die for your beliefs and country. Lovely take! ♥
Thanks Kathy.
This is cool! May unity prevail! 😀
Touchwood to that.
nice to see a positive take! 🙂
I was feeling too cheerful to do a sad one today 😀
Touching one, Tulika! I only wish we can continue to live up to his sacrifice!
We need to be reminded of it over and over again.
Very cheery take! I wanted to go on a similar track, but the only idea I got was the one I'd already used, with Despair.
I remember that one.. One of your best.
Wonderful story narrated in 55 words, Tulika! Nice one 🙂
Thanks Kajal.
