Contest entry #7: The Joke
His joke set her ablaze. She laughed her heart out, her eyes fixed on his charming face and her soft hands caressing his cheek. Her uncontrollable laughter turned into a cough and it stopped when she saw blood being sprayed on the floor from her mouth. She was given 3 months.

I think the story could have been a better read with more pauses. I’m personally more fond of short sentences. A good attempt!! I loved the sting in the tale.

Echo to Anwesa. Short sentences give words more meaning and pauses help reader fill in the gaps himself.
However, that takes nothing away from your story plot that definitely moves the reader.

The best line of this 55 fiction is ‘She was given 3 months’ which was brought out slowly with good usage of Blood !!!

The ending makes one to think abt life and death.. Heartfelt write.. Just to think that the smile wont last long..

That was a sad one, very painful to know that someone you love won’t stay with you for long.
It is a good story, but I know you can do better, I read better ones from you.
