Grieft


‘My love for him will prevail – I promise’

‘I will share my love for him with everyone.’

‘But how?’ What else can we do?

'We don’t need to….when inspector Sahib is here for us’


Next morning the beheaded inspector was gift wrapped for the Jharkhand police station.

A solitary note read – “we head – not you”.



Gyanban thoughts - This micro fiction is based on a true incident.Naxals beheaded inspector Francis Induwar to avenge their beloved leader Kobad Ghandy's arrest.


The title is a mix of two words Gift and Grief.

    I liked the fact that you explained the title. Often writers come up with innovative ideas but the readers might not understand where the writer is coming from.
    I am new to the world of blogging so I'm just browsing through random blogs. I like the no nonsense title besides this post.

    What a twist in the tale... I'm speechless...

    Gift + Grief = Grieft. Hmmm interesting...

    P.S. Nice template... and I guess I have quite a bit of catching up to do...
