This time i have these digitally created berries. Don't ask the name as I just picked colours and tried blending to get a fruit. If you find any resemblance to any do share. 🙂 I am loving this tiring drawing style at the moment. Lets see what happens next... As for todays Quote "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” ―Theodore Roosevelt.

Reality Versus Fantasy

By Ira -

The World beckoned for a visit, but here he lay trapped in shackles, bound to the virtual reality. 

FF - Betrayal 181212
Copyright – Douglas M. MacIlroy

His passion longed for his touch but he seemed more attracted to the greenery on the other side of the screen than the garden that lay in front of him.
His companion missed the outings with him to the hills or the plains but he always had an excuse that every place in this world was a ‘search’ away, where his bike would never take him.


Today as he was leaving the four walls and a few sad faces behind, he realized how kind was his world, unlike him.

    Nothing compares to reality, but how many in the future will see it this way I wonder? Nice take.

      Sometimes we know the repercussions still, choose the wrong track...

    Really good take on this prompt--realistic, as so many live through their screens.

    One small thing that would clarify your last sentence: a comma between world and unlike. "His world, unlike him."

      Also, thank you for pointing out the comma thing.

    Virtual reality is robbing too many people of the beauty of the real world

    People have lost the ability to get along with each other or adjust and hence find virtual reality a succour. sad.

      Busy schedules and machines have taken control over us so human intervention is dreaded.

    If his companion does not like his company, may be it is time to seek out a different companion.

    Our screens already ruin so many lives, those who won't disconnect (and I point my finger at myself as well). Reality is much better!

    Thanks for playing! I'd love you to switch up the "was" verbs to more powerful ones. It magnifies and amplifies stories so much.
    Cheers,

    Excellent portrayal of a definite segment of the world population that I fear is only going to continue to get larger as technology advances.

    Dear Ira,

    Nicely done take on the prompt. We are addicted to virtual reality, aren't we? I don't see many signs of it getting any better.

    Shalom,

Scent of Hope

“Mamma is Santa visiting us this year?” asked little Rosy. “Maybe”, answered her mother while she was busy sewing the red cloth. All this while Rosy sat there dreaming about the ‘man in red’ who visited every child in the world except her, the reindeers who could light up her home, only if they paid her a short visit, about the gifts that she had so longed for since he left a void in their lives.

Gift

 “Where are you taking me?”  Riddhi asked annoyed with him for having forgotten to wish her, leave alone give the gift she had desired for on their first anniversary, an early morning breakfast with him and the sunrise in the background as the new resort in their city claimed. “Endurance my dear is the best companion at the moment,”   Atul replied with a kidding note in his voice. “Hope he has no despicable ideas,”   she recollected the news about the suicide by a young, much in love couple. In addition, she remembered him talking about bringing some   Project   to its conclusion.   “Was it she?”
