Microfiction is quite a popular genre nowadays. The aim of this is to create an environment that speaks a lot with very few words. The reader will feel the story as soon as it ends and, there is a huge scope for imagination. Microfiction, I think, is one of the best ways which acts as a conduit between the thought waves of the author and the reader.
Here goes my first humble attempt to pen a few.
Very nicely written.

By the way, she conceived after three months? Seriously? 3 months?

Thanks… If someone aborts a child, it is quite possible that she could conceive after three months only. I wanted to convey that the foetus was marked as of an XX chromosome and eventually aborted. Thanks again for stopping by… 🙂

Hi MP,
Frankly I had not heard of the term ” Micro-fiction. But I guess in this age of Whatsapp, Twitter and increasing ‘Attention deficit syndromes’, it is a logical movement.
Reading your excellent pieces, my thoughts veered towards a superb micro-film I saw recently. It is a suspense Bengali movie named ” Ahalya” starring Soumitra Chatterjee.
Cheers
