He bought her stunning clothes from every country he visited. She put them away, disinterested. She felt fat, ugly and undeserving.
When he left, forever, she paled into a shadow of her former self.
She found them while emptying her wardrobe. They fit like a glove.
She laughed. She cried. And gave them all away.

Why did she give them away?
Clothes, food, gifts (some, not all) shouldn’t be thrown away or neglected just becuase a relationship ends! 😀
my 2 cents…
BUT, lovely 55 word story…
Maybe, I should try this once?
*hmmm*
Agree with Pixie.
I’d never ever be able to give away stunning clothes.
Lovely story.
Thanks Banno and Pixie. I guess it was the futility and the irony of it, all that made her do it.
Hey, you are getting to be an expert at this 55 word thingie…great job!
lovely! You know, just yesterday I posted a 55er and deleted it forthwith because it was no good! I wonder how you do this..its awesome! 🙂
Ganga- Thanks. The truth, however, is that I find 55-ers are the lazy way out 🙂
Piper- Thats so sweet of you to say so, but I wish you wouldn’t delete your 55-ers. We learn only by writing more and more. So please re-post yours.
Fantastic, as always, my dear pallo 🙂 didn’t the story have a tragic note to it. I thought, when you wrote that he left forever; he died? ok maybe that was my own interpretation.
Hey Urmi,
I’m so glad you called me ‘Pallo’..that’s the name best friends use! And yes, I did mean the guy died. Which is why she felt it was all so futile.
Cheers..
This, kind of, made me sad…
😦
Wah!
Made me sad… I never had the nerve to throw anything that I’d treasure along with people…. Something That i can’t even imagine.. I take pain to archive everything, right from the letters, notes, chocolate covers, the bills, when we had went out n spent, tickets….
Kind of girly! right… that’s what people tell … I don’t care.. its me basically…
Rekz- Aw…this was indeed a sad post..sorry!
Shail- Thank you! A compliment from you is something that has just made my day 🙂
Barath- You come across as a soft-hearted soul. Nothing ‘girly’ about that! I used to do the same (Hey, just to clarify, I am a girl..was, rather!)..it was only last year that I threw a whole bag of cards/letters/etc. You’ll realise some day, that ‘Memories replace souvenirs’.
Love all the 55ers:)
This could well be my story!!:)
Thanks, Yash. Mebbe its time you wore it all.. or gave it to a neighbour who would try her best to squeeze into them :-)))
loved all your 55ers! you are too good!
err – and loved your comment to Yash..
Thanks a ton, Ipshita. That’s so sweet. I wonder if Yashada has read my response to her, but I will make sure she does :-))
U r awesome Pal
