55 Flash Fiction Friday #34: Chapter 26 - Nikalnaa


Some stories are the same in any language.
She turned eastward, determined her eyes would never again fall on this festering dung heap. As she passed the edge of the village, her sari grazed the ground, picking up a last trace of dust*. When night fell and she had put miles behind her, she scrubbed herself raw and reduced the sari to ash.
*Nod to Tiff... thanks for the visual babe.
