Theme 20 - 2014 - Flawed

From @poisonaavi: 

Tears cascaded down her cheeks and onto her lap as she stared at the charred remains. This was not an end she had imagined. With trembling hands, the seven-year-old collected the cinders in her hands and threw them away.

Leaving the cake in the oven for more than an hour had been a fatal flaw. 

From @sourcasm: 

Aman and Kanika's story was flawed from the beginning. Running away from home to escape an alcoholic father and an abusive mother they looked for a family in street dogs and fellow rag-pickers; sleeping on the pavement with empty stomachs.

"I finally hit the Millennium Lottery" Kanika told her brother and then they both wept.

From @Chinnmayy: 

She was away. His best friend, his favorite enemy, most trusted, beloved of people and the only outer source of internal strength. He wanted her besides. Needed her. Missed her bad. While she was in someone else’s arms.

And he had to shut his eyes and choose to walk away. Because his expectations were flawed.

From @Jazz_CB: 

She was so perfect, he thought as he looked lovingly into her eyes –extraordinarily intelligent, hilarious and such beauty! He knew he was lucky. Unfortunately, people never tired of reminding him of that.

Finally, his confidence broke and the green monster was awoken. In the end, she had a flaw - She was too perfect.

From @WhatteKarvaad: 

"I did not believe it when my friend, Shuya, said his roommate was flawed. I dismissed his remark, saying, “Come on! He does not seem so. He seems perfect.” But yesterday, I got to know that the friend was a notorious conman who duped people off their money. He was indeed a fraud after all."

From @snehzana: 

He finally killed her.  Suddenly he noticed a black mole on the side of her neck. Of all the flaws in her, he fell in love with her mole after she died. He kept her body preserved for 5 years, staring at the mole. Some call it necrophilia while he could finally call it love.

From @kanakkupullai: 

He read into the note : "What I am reading is a flawed note, in that, it will make me stop reading it, even before I complete. The writer hated this world, and has decided to take his life." 

He paused, sweat beads poised to break loose.

"And that person has now changed his mind."

From @Ungaayaa: 

The Sun was setting in Ukhrul(Manipur). Jamini walked out, her esteem bruised beyond repair. She looked at the men that caused this barbarity on her. They were laughing. She remembered the lines 'The great Indian Army' that she'd read in school, that day. She walked away, smiling wryly.

The same night, Jamini hanged herself.

From @aalfpaayil: 

“For better and for worse, through everything,” he had vowed. “I love you. Everything about you. Your strengths, insecurities and weaknesses.The whole of you,” echoes from the distant past stung her eyes. Acceptance despite imperfections, wasn’t that how it was supposed to be? Yet he had left her for another with flawless skin.

From @donbratman: 

He erased the line thrice. Flamboyant adjectives weren't really his thing. He was trying to rephrase the sentence because something just wasn't right. Just a small mistake somewhere. He scratched his head, then scribbled something on his notepad and viola! His 55 word story was complete. Flawwless. Or so he thought.

From @MsMecheri: 

It has been a year since she survived the heartless incident. Kiran,a role model to many, has a half burnt face.

After a brief introduction the interviewer questioned, "What difference does it make to have flawed skin suddenly?"

"Just as much as it does to the aimless mind who caused this", she smiled.

From @alksmehta: 

What charmed Upasna about Mohit was his behaviour, a perfect gentleman and well groomed.Before she could realise they were married.Once she stepped into his home she realised that he was full of flaws from his unkempt surroundings to his rowdy behaviour.All that she could do now was to regret of the choice she made.

From @CruciFire: 

“Woo hoo, my first ever prototypes. This 3D printer is awesome!”

“HE is leaking confidence.”“SHE is overflowing with attitude.”

“So many of my cartridges are missing – conscience, values, morals…”

“Oh damn, it’s malfunctioning. STOP! STOP!”

The entire human race was born. None perfect.

From @mak_suri: 

He never thought he would meet her in this life. The woman whom he’d idolized through every piece of literature he ever wrote over the past 10 years. The woman who symbolized perfection for him.

His life stopped when she summed up his writings in one word. Flawed. That’s just how she saw herself too. Flawed.
