“And Hell Followed Him!”: My Short Story Published in India

Many months ago,

I decided to give it a go,

And write short stories,

But I didn’t know how to start that piece?

 

Then I started reading,

Rabindranath Tagore’s writing,

“Golpoguchchho” which is called,

And is as precious as diamond.  

 

After reading a few,

I discovered a writer new,

As my keyboard was busy,

As my fingers made it work rapidly.

 

“And Hell Followed Him!” named it I,

And finished it much quicker with a happy sigh,

And through Facebook, I came to know about Estrade,

An Indian literary magazine of lofty standard.

 

I sent my short story with my fingers crossed,

And a green signal from them I received,

At that very moment I did fly,

And found myself stuck between the earth and the sky!
