Five Stories

by Ravi Bedi

Five fictional stories told by living and not so living characters.

You are like an irresistible dark chocolate man would want to swallow whole…The Dark Chocolate.
Crushes are synonymous with romantic expectations; fantasies never cross the boundaries of imagination…The Perils of Love
My stories are like express trains, rushing past the smaller, insignificant stations to reach their destinations swiftly. Yours is like The Palace on Wheels, all decked out royally that chugs along the historic land of Rajasthan, enjoying the beauty of the magnificent terrain and the old-world charm of the smaller stations…The Green Bench
I felt humbled in the company of the magnificent Cadillacs, Mercedes, and the king of all, Rolls Royce to name a few…JU 783
That’s when I truly became a piece of furniture, more dead than alive, as no one bothered to look beyond the polished surface and peep into my heart that still lived hidden under the massive lid…The Grand Piano

Happy reading.
