The respect they elicited was admirable.

Their camaraderie was awe-inspiring.

They were tight- like a close netted structure.

Before I knew it, I was one of them.

They defended me tooth and nail. Sometimes, literally.

They gave me everything I never had.

They filled a void.

How can I not kill or rape for them?

My theme for this year’s Blogging from A to Z April Challenge is Crime Stories in 55 Words.

  1. Like those jihaad gangs. They’re single-minded in their purpose. So sad. Well done Shilpa. Can’t believe it is the last of the alphabets tomorrow!

  2. Amazing! Good one! Your little short fiction pieces always pack such a punch. That last line is a real zinger. I imagine there are groups such as these around, sadly. Look at ISIS for example, leading those lost youths to do unspeakable acts of terror and violence.

  3. Shilpa this is very scary and so many gang rapes, mostly the young people are involved, sometimes they are not even 18 years… juvenile homes are getting filled with these types of crimes. well done shipa !!
