How I wrote my first 55er

I am like this boy statue today - drowned in my own thoughts, staring at the laptop and not knowing what to write.  I feel home sick today, missing my family and friends, indian street food, temples, driving my 2 wheeler - everything.  Anyways instead of boring you with my own stories, I'll share my first 55er.  I am inspired by blog dosts like Shilpa, CB, Dee, Philo, Jaish who could write amazing 55ers and short stories. 

I am not a great story teller.  You would have deciphered it by now.  I have participated in a couple of blog contests which turned out to be a flop show! Spinning the story by talking comes much more naturally for me than penning them down.  And restricting it to mere 55 words is a real challenge. 55000 words seemed much more easier.  I've written a lot of 55000ers during university exams!  Much effortlessly!  

Anyways, I was up for this 55 word challenge! But sooner, I ran out of vocabulary, searched for words everywhere. When I was satisfied with the vocabs, I realised I had too many words.  I counted, re-counted manually to make sure it's only 55 words!  And here it goes - my first 55er.

A miniscule happiness hidden inside the indescribable agony that surpassed through every vein of her body – a virus attack!  She looked at the mirror and silently said,  “To get this extra pampering and love from my husband, I don’t mind getting sick a 100 other times”.  She smiled. He cuddled her tightly from the back.
