 The Story



He stood under the cold shower, eyes closed in a bliss,  he picked up the shower gel and lathered it all over his body. He loved long showers but today he did not have the luxury of doing so -his boss had just messaged him. 

I need 400 words on migrants-full drama, tears-the works. By noon. Today.

He walked to his wooden desk next to the French window overlooking the lush garden that his wife tended to so lovingly. The endless row of marigold danced joyfully even as the hot wind slapped them harshly. He booted his computer and called out, “Bahadur. Get me a shikanji. At least 6 cubes of ice. And keep some  beer in the freezer.”

He scrolled through a few websites, humming under his breath,  when he spotted picture of migrants. A bus bursting with passengers and their belongings , a man trying to scramble up the roof-top with a toddler clinging on to  his legs.

Perfect.

 He smiled.

This is going to be a great story.
