May 22: Gossip

From @sharasekaram:
The barbed whispers floating around never stop hurting. Over time the vicious words from those who gossip become pin-pricks as opposed to agony filled stabs – but on some level the pain is always there. You never forget. You never really forgive. And you fight not to crumble. You can’t. You won’t. They won’t win.

From @bhagsy:
They gossiped, sitting at the back of the office. Hiding behind files and doors. They didn't work. Not really. They just sat there and spoke incessantly. It was their 'work'. I ask my friend, do they sleepy peacefully at night. Work, they hardly do. Gossip, they always have to do.

From Shemali (theshadowseeker):
The guests were seated. Dressed in their best, immersed in their gossip. 
"..date brought forward.."
"..visited her doctor."
"..her belly does look a bit round..pregnant?"
"..shame really"
I smile at the bride and hope that it hides the fact that I know. I had seen the medical report. 
Advanced cancer. Prognosis: 6 months

From @PaviliciousK:
Meh, I heard from Dharini, who heard from her sister’s son’s girlfriend. Apparently, Shamini was hanky-panky-fying with Anjalika’s fiance. Anjalika found out, and the women had a roaring bloody fight right in the middle of Cinnamon Grand. One of them ended up in the fountain and the other one was escorted out by hotel security!!!”

If rulers wanna change our focus
They just play some prank and fake us

With UFO tracing
And even with some 'Hocus Pocus'!

From @atticus900:
Gossip infused Kerengapokuna village
like the lifeblood of some giant organism,
holding together the ramshackle
houses, sparse gardens,
motley denizens...
It flowed
over creeper-covered rusting fences,
on pauses during a trundle
along dusty,winding
Singha road, across
unpainted walls
stained
in patterns by the rain.

From @shamsmakkiya:
"Fire!"
laid a charred body on the blackened floor.
Gossips diffused virally.
He got away scot free.
Legally he was proved to be innocent.

From @Mari_deSilva:
The Evolution of Gossip…
“Have you heard…….?”
“No, way! Impossible.”
“I’m telling you men, trust me. My source is very reliable.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes! Why would I lie?”
“I would never have thought it men.”
“I know. I couldn’t believe it myself.”
“Now thinking about it, I’m not too surprised.”
“Yeah, true. Me neither.”
