Microfictions: Sita Meets Rama
A Story of Love at First Sight
He stood in front of me and my heart stopped. He was the one I was going to marry. I could feel it in every bone in my body. Even if he failed my father's test I know he is the one. But he won't fail. I have no doubt that this man named Rama will be the one to lift the bow. But what if he is not you ask? Well I guess I have to do things my own way. We could run away together and live a happy life. That will be my husband. He is Rama. Sita's Confidence
This man will lift the bow.
Author's Note: It seems as if both Rama and Sita knew they were meant for each other so I just wrote the thoughts of Sita. They are very typical thoughts that I believe someone who was truly in love immediately might have, but also sounds kind of like a movie. I wanted to display that Sita already knew that Rama would win and that she was ready for him to as well.
Hello Keana! This was the first microfiction I have read this semester, and what a great story to read first. I think you did an amazing job capturing all of Sita's emotions during that first glance at Rama. I especially liked how confident she was in Rama's ability to bend the bow, and her determination to marry him even if he somehow failed the task. Awesome job :)
ReplyDeleteHi Keana, this is my first time reading a microficition like this – and I really enjoyed it! It gave a big story in just a few sentences. I was able to imagine the whole scene. I was also able to feel the emotion Sita was going through when she was wondering if Rama would be able to pick up the bow or not. Great Job!
