"...Lost" - 55 word short story

The palm trees whispered the sordid news to the evening breeze; it would now travel to every corner of the world. Shomya lay under one of them, his tears narrating the tale of humiliation. He had lost the bet. The Indian cricket team had lost again.
His sobbing stopped gradually as night engulfed the land.

Freedom on Friday


The hum drowns out,
Music, the silence...
I flap my wings,
As the shackles break.
