ESCAPE

"This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 10; the tenth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton."

Here goes my failed attempt at writing a 55 fictioner...It ended up being 55+119 words long LOL.

Being sleepless for the past five nights, the fatigue and fear in her eyes was evident. Few of her friends tried to suggest a solution and few others made fun of her. But to her it was an issue as scary as death.


"No matter what I will be done with him today", she told her colleagues with vengeance evident in her bloodshot red eyes.

'All set’, She thought and tried to sleep that night hoping all is gonna end by the time she woke up.

It was 5 in the morning. With footsteps as light as a feather she carefully and silently went in to her kitchen and switched on the light. 

What she just saw made her beam with a smile.

But in a fraction of a second all her smiles vanished and she stood dumbstruck watching the act that was so unbelievable. Jumping up and down and on freeing himself from the trap, the rat escaped into the creeks of the cupboard to be seen nowhere.

Excellent topic. One of the uniquely different takes on the topic 'Escape'. One of my favorite movies was one called 'Mouse hunt'. But I feel you kept it too short. You had scope to make it longer and really dramatize.

Hey that was a cute post. I was racking my brains thinking who was this about :) Loved your 55+119er :)
Just a suggestion, I dont know why but your blog took a lot of time to load. Just check the widgets. Some of them may be taking time to load.
Will come back for more :)
