I have always respected people who can concisely summarize their thoughts. Writing micro stories is something that comes in that category too. So, I challenged myself to write one. I tried, and here’s the output.

Then Life Happened

[A Collection of Connected Short Stories]

THAT DAY

Life was busy for Hae Rin. As if working on her research and part time jobs weren’t enough she now had a new issue at hand, an unborn child waiting to pop out any minute. The past months had been a turmoil of emotions and her work was getting nowhere. Serious relationships! She didn’t have the time or the luxury for that. And Kim, he wasn’t the right choice either. The rainy night, the drunken aggression. If only things had ended there. Why did she have to carry the memories of that very night within her. God is unfair, she thought for the hundredth time that day.

Lying on the hospital bed a few days later. The piercing pain, the wails that poured in through the walls, the blinding lights, the percolating spell of alcohol and disinfectants, the whispers of the hospital staff, the constantly beeping machinery, everything was driving her crazy. She could hear a distant siren of the ambulance, maybe the very ambulance that had brought her in two days earlier, when she had collapsed in her lab. Weeping, lamenting her fate, she laid semi-conscious, with broken ribs, an empty womb and all the Time in the world.
