"Where’s Suraj? Is he alright?” she was surprised to find
herself wondering.
She had never met Suraj.
He was a blogger like her.
But, why was she thinking of
Suraj of all the bloggers?

| Magic - Veronika Pinke |
Suraj shared photo-blogs about his travels to exotic places.
She sometimes commented on his posts; and he posted his comments on hers'.
Her relationship with other
bloggers was similar.
She wondered why Suraj was on
her mind?

| PHOTO PROMPT - Dale Rogerson |
She was shocked to learn that
Suraj was no more...
He had committed suicide by jumping from his apartment's balcony that winter night.
How could she predict his
death?
Has anything like this happened to you before? Have you thought about someone/something and then you got a news from or about them?

How sad to have that happen.
ReplyDeleteAnd actually, yes, I have thought of someone and boom! Get a call from them. I prefer that to finding out they are no more...
Dear Anita,
ReplyDeleteThings like this have happened to me.
Shalom,

If only Suraj had gone online to talk about it instead.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sad, atmospheric story. Well done.

A tragic end. There are a few bloggers that have come and gone over the years - I hope none have ended up like this.
ReplyDeleteA sad story. And yes, I have experienced what you describe. I'll be thinking about one of my daughters, and I'll get a text or call. Maybe, however, that's because I'm usually thinking about my daughters. 🤔
ReplyDeleteNice little link up with the three photo prompts.
ReplyDeleteI woke up two mornings in a row thinking about a friend who had breast cancer, worried she was going to die, and on the third day I got a call that she had passed the night before - she no longer lived nearby so I didn't have daily contact. It's funny how we know things sometimes.
'Truth is stranger than fiction' has been proved time and again.
ReplyDeleteProof that the people we meet while blogging are just as human as the people we interact with in the flesh. very nice write.
ReplyDeleteGreat flash for the A-to-Z blog tour about how we all interconnect.
ReplyDeletehe must be very desperate.
ReplyDeleteActually, it happens to me maybe once a year. It's very weird
ReplyDeleteSad.
ReplyDeleteYes, this has happened to me. Thoughts of others who are about to have a change in their life occur more often than chance would seem to allow.
ReplyDeleteAnd writing stories that have small word counts is a great way to keep your writing concise! Good job!
So sad. Well-written.
