Some stories are the same in any language
There was little she owned and even less she cared to take with her. The fewer memories she took away from this place the better. The hyenas and jackals could have all of it... all of them.
As she stepped into the road she realized she'd slept undisturbed for the first time in two years.

great 55, mojo. you're right, some stories are the same no matter the language. i think this one is more prevalent than we would like.

Alas, she has just taken one or two of her plain cotton ghetto sarees, tied some ruppess coins into the palu, and off she goes.

And yes, you did inspire the yurt posts! I had fun making them. So, did you think it looks like the inside of the I dream of Jeannie bottle?
Actually, it is insualated but yes it could be better.
Not writing a 55, i'm such a lameout.
Have a good weekend.

Love the rephrasing... "all of them". Nicely done, Mojo. Very nicely done.

Yea, let them eat all of THEM, from head to toe!
I guess this revenge was sweet, so to make her sleep soundly thus!
The word Jackal always sounds so creepy..
Great Job on the 55 Mojo. Thanks for playing and visiting so many other participants.
Have a Wonderful Week-End...G
Oooo... I can totally relate to her getting the best night's sleep in two years. This was nicely written!
You're a master of the cliffhanger!
Very nice! I've always liked flash fiction. My favorite is Hemingway's famous "For Sale: Baby shoes, never worn."
I wish I could get a good night's sleep!
I love the way your chapters can stand alone, so well written!
This reminds me of my first night in my very own apartment after I moved out of my house.
Happy Friday Mojo!

This is wonderful.
It's funny, one of them women I interviewed for that article didn't speak English, so we had an interpreter -- but I was far more interested in the things that were universal - the way she moaned, the way she rocked, the way she cried... I didn't need the meaning of her words to hear her story.
Well see, I didnt know about your HNT's because I am a defector of HNT.
I graduated.
I dropped out.
I.....evolved. :P
I'm with Akelamalu, I wish I could get a good night's sleep *glares at the cute baby*
Great 55 Mojo. And thanks for the link to that article. ;-)
