Translated from 'Intermission' by Ganesh Malayath
Leaving her all alone in the theater,
The protagonist and the villain
Went for a coffee during the intermission
The leading lady sensed lonesomeness,
In the emptiness of the seats before her
And hunger,
Seeing all the popcorn strewn around
The cacophony of gun shots startled her
She strained her ears
And heard people running around,
Their muffled, helpless cries.
And then, there was silence
Ominous silence.
She waited in fear,
Looking at the closed doors
Blissfully ignorant of whatever happened.
But no one returned.
And then that thought crossed her mind
She hoped at least the villain would come back for her.

"At least the villain would come back ..... ".. Nice..
@ Reflections Yup, I thought so too. It makes perfect sense. What brings you here though?
And I always thought villains were cooler any way.
@Lakshmi - "Memories".....
