The world mourned his death. “Such a philanthropist, did so much for abused women’s causes.” they said. She cried, and the world mistook it for grief. They were tears of relief. She would never have to pretend to have fallen off the stairs or having bumped into walls again. He had “fallen” off the stairs today.
That is so beautifully written!
Felt a chill as it ended!
Great twist provided even though its only 55 words, it takes talent to do that!

Thank you Zach, your appreciation is highly appreciated.
I had goosebumps after reading this as I actually know people with different public and private personas. And no, I don’t know anyone whose life ended like this. But still…
Brilliant, Meera, absolutely brilliant.
It just seemed like poetic justice. I can mete that out in writing if not in real life.
