Two 20 word stories…
- Hiding her fears and anxiety, taking a deep breath, she finally jumped off the cliff. Bungee jumping was fun afterall!
2. To the world, she was a gorgeous model. No one saw her bruises hid carefully behind the makeup and smile.
In response to Bulbulbubble’s Twenty word story prompt : Hiding

Short and beautifully penned stories, Radhika. That is a mask that we all put on never once showing how we feel inside. The picture was too good.

1. I was terrified when I read that she jumped off a cliff then relief that it was just a bungee jump 😅
2. Behind the beautiful facade there’s the chaos.
Great stories 👏🏼

Yes, that was my intention in the first one 😀.
It is so painful to hide the suffering behind the facade.

Poignant and true. You’re so right. The world doesn’t need to see our bruises. They are ours and we will heal them. So much meaning in twenty words. I reiterate my original views. “You are definitely gifted with talent.” warm regards

Oh, I love both of these! They have similar angles, except one chose to take a risk, the other thought it was best to stay hidden. Reminded me of so many instances in our lives, when we’re torn between those two. Excellent writing ❤️
