55 Word Fiction

His pride,others'envy
Being a cynosure of all eyes, even married men covet me.
They bend backwards to win me.
Many come eagerly to have me only to get rejected ruthlessly.
Finally I settle for the best, his pride and others' envy.
But I will surely desert him if he doesn't deserve me
I am Wimbledon men’s cup

 Desperation
He was rejected. This was his 15th interview
Disappointed he bought four packets of rat poison
Declined dinner, lay on bed and was watching ceiling aimlessly
Mom came and asked “Why are you morose?
“Nothing”
You will get next time, don’t worry. Did you get what I asked you?
Yes, kept four packets on table.

The wink                                                                      
We were waiting for coffee at Coffee Day.
I saw a man winking at my wife
“Do you know him?”
“No” even as he winked again
“Tell me truth.”
When she affirmed, I grabbed his collar
He winked at me and pushed my hands
When I was about to hit, he repeatedly twitched his eyelashes

    The first one is epic. The rest makes for pleasurable read, of course, high voltage drama on the street:)
