If Only?
Despite all the lights, and all lights were bright, he could
not shut out the darkness; it kept on peeping through the window.
“Why?” he asked himself.
It was overpowering, this darkness; it was a challenge and
he seemed to be failing, again and again.
Only if he could have convinced her that there was nothing
fake in his love. But was he being
truthful, he wondered.
He hated himself for being uncertain of everything, even his
love.
If he could shut out this darkness from his being then everything
would be bright and cheerful.
If only?
Word Count 100 words.

DeleteDear I.B. Good story - If only I had a penny for all my "if only" statements I've made then I'd be well - better off. Very clever and who hasn't pondered 'if only' ? Great story!

DeleteShweta, He needs some professional help to overcome the depression that's weighing on him so he can come into the light. Little note: "overpowering" is one word so you can add another one to the story. : ) ---Susan
