Ruminating by the Ruins: #FridayFictioneers
Naysa and Nolan have been married for a week now and are honeymooning in Scotland. They are out sightseeing. These ruins haven’t caught the eyes of many a tourists. The couple heard about them from their friends who are locals.
The ruins stand out in all their splendour, adorned by the lush, luxuriant greens that have stealthily crept their way into the walls, notwithstanding the harsh weather.
Naysa lies on her back, wistfully gazing at the sky. The azure sky opens out it’s arms, enveloping her in a warm, sunny hug. This is probably the closest she will ever get to love.

Not everyone can fix end to end short stories. This is a beautiful one and with a great closure. Loved it 🙂
Beautiful! The story has so many undercurrents!!
That’s a heartbreaking twist. All sunny and nice until the loveless marriage is revealed.
Oh, how sad. Married a week, but not in love.
I especially liked the warm, sunny hug. And, as others have said the last line takes the story beyond what’s written here, and has us guessing as to why Naysa doesn’t have love – and whether she ever will.
Dear Natasha,
Your last line added another chapter to your story. Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
My heart goes out to Nysa. i hope she experiences true love soon.
Glad that you’re part of Alexa, Natz:)
Enjoyed the story Natz. How come you haven’t joined #FridayFotoFiction yet?
That is a beautiful scene you’ve created for us this week, Natasha. Enjoyed reading it.
Lovely story .Enjoyed reading this .I would love to visit this place
As I read the description, I could imagine being there myself, lying on the green grass, under the blue sky, thinking about love!
Loved the description. What did the last line denote? Was she lonely in her heart? That’s how I felt…:)
The last line is what opens up so many interpretations Nats- I think she loves nature more than anything or anyone else and thats why she experiences true bliss
one day she will be one with the love….
It’s a great moment, but surely she can get a little closer to love.
Oops not for the but * for Naysa.
I suspect , it was an arranged marriage , or commitment out of some sort of obligation, since they are only one week into their marriage .
Beautiful last line so much so that I couldn’t help but feel a sense of sadness for the Naysa.
Oh! Was not expecting that last line… makes you wonder…
Such a sad ending, Natasha. I feel so sorry for Naysa.
Loved the descriptions, and the last line too! 🙂
Oh Natz what do I say, honestly reading your posts leave me speechless. As always I am spell bound with the beauty of this post. Just amazing
Such a pleasant scene. The last line opens up a new dimension to the story. Very well done.
I loved the unexpected last line
