The Accident

Image copyright: Marie Gail Stratford

Looking back on that fated day, I feel it was an omen. We first met at a bar, where I was sitting drunk, nursing my bottle of vodka. 

You looked into my eyes and smiled, I fell for you then and there. Or maybe, it was the offer to buy me a drink seeing my condition. 

Either ways, I had no regrets when I woke up the next morning in your bed, wearing your shirt.

It was meant to be a one night stand but the two pink lines that I saw on the pregnancy kit today, told me otherwise.

  1. Oh! I was hoping for a beautiful ending. Wait! I still am :) (rather a beginning. But the intention of the ending note I am afraid doesn't go with my thoughts. Well, you never know they say.)
    Yay! Back to back.. :) Keep Writing.

    1. Thanks for reading, Shanx :) Life doesn't always have a happy ending, unfortunately! Ironic as it may sound, I'm a sucker for happy endings but while writing, I always prefer to explore the grey shades :)

  4. Dear Athira.

    A one night stand led to a lifetime commitment for at least one of them. Well done.

    Shalom,

    1. Yes, she can choose the way her life has to go on but hopefully, it shouldn't be one she'll regret later. Thanks K!

  7. Why do we call it a one night stand when nobody usually just stands?

    I like that this one worked out, though.. Randy

  13. You are where you are in Life due to the choices you make ... you want to be somewhere else ... make different choices! Her (cause obviously it is not you ...) evening was a series of choices, wonder what the next one will be. Good post Aathira! HUGS <3

  16. Hope the guy feels the same way, that it is now time for it to be more than a one-night stand.
