Flash Fiction - 5

With all the Ammani-related comments for my previous attempt at flash fiction, I couldn't resist attempting a quick tale a la Ammani. So here I go...

------------------------------

Caring

Her father-in-law was coughing as he lay on the bed thirsty. Her mother-in-law was tired as she cooked alone in the kitchen. Her son was waiting so she could help him with his homework. She sat in the living room crying. The mother-in-law in Metti Oli was so cruel.

  3. World over, non-serial watcher's 'emotion' about the serial lovers, has been 'more than adequately' expressed....wonderfully so...

    (m-i-l in kitchen dhaan konjam udhaikudhe ;) - may you be gang up the m-i-l and d-i-l ?)

  12. anon, ram's and my comments should've made it clear that that wouldn't been our response at all! its only your writing that would've been praised :)
    and being chauvinistic wasn't the intention of my story either. the recent post on tamil serials just led to it...

  13. Good one. Though it took me a couple of reads to 'get it'. Nothing to do with your clarity. It's not my time of the day :)
    Flash, not in the pan, I hope.
