My Assumptions
As a child, I used to find my parents' work very easy and would detest at my life cause all the hardships lay with me.
You would wonder what I am talking about?
Well, it is the truth. All my parents had to do was go to a place which they used to call work/office. Sit there for a couple of hours (9 am-5 pm to be precise) and come back with a check every fortnightly. Food on the table

The Bench
"I am tired."
After giving a glance at her face that glistened with sweat courtesy the bright sun, he said, "Let's take a five-minute break."
Mrs. D was quick to plop on the bench that overlooked the green grass where children were playing ball.
As the north-west wind blew, she flared her nostrils to absorb the energy that'll help her walk home.
While Mr. D gave out a deep sigh as

The Win
"Wake up!" Sarla jolted her husband awake.
"What happened?" he woke up with a jerk as if he got an electrical shock.

Those Eyes!
“Whatever happens, don’t open this?” Mom commanded as if the colonel of the army, and
marched out of the room.
I obeyed with a soft nod but confused eyes.
I stared at it and saw a pair of eyes on the brass knobs of the brown polished wood.
Peeked outside the room.
“Should I open it?” I grinned like a witch, “But maybe it had something forbidden for me, just
like Adam’s apple?” I

"Could I please have a big slice of key lime pie without whipped cream?"
I skewed my nose, "It would be so tangy without it. How about some vanilla ice-cream on the side, instead?"

"Mom, why can't we consider a dessert to be sweet and

Sarah was quick to ask him the reason for his behavior.
