Flash Fiction(100) - Subdued


His piercing gaze sent a horrifying shiver down her spine. She realized what a grave mistake she had done of venturing alone to the isolated place.  Taking two steps backwards, she turned around and started to flee. In a flash, she felt his burly arms on her back.  Before she could react she was pushed to the ground, and he landed on top of her.  Her screams that pierced through the silence of the surroundings, transformed into whimpers and slowly died as he subdued her under his brutal force.The vultures devoured the zebra carcass after the tiger was done.

    well nice, apt.. especially in a flash fiction writing it is of utmost importance to describe everything which the writer wants to tell and similarly its of utmost important to keep readers in mind.
    keep it up and keep writing

    Sex is the most basic instinct of all organisms after survival (food and water). Your story reminded me of another such one written by a famous Malayalam writer, Punathil Kunjabdullah. The only difference is the ending. In his story, the woman returns to the man again yearning to be smothered under him. Well, he wrote a few decades ago. One can argue about male chauvinism, patriarchy... etc. Today's world is indeed different. But can we blame men alone for that? That's my question.

      But unlike animals, humans are expected to be in control of that instinct. Thats y rapists are called animals , arent they? Have not heard of that author before though I learnt Malayalam all the way till my 7th class . Whats the name of the book? Thanks for stepping in Matheikal.

    This was a nice one. Reminded me of olden days movies when censor board was stricter and public more conservative, they would show a lion hunting down a deer as a metaphor for a rape scene. You have turned the concept on its head.
