"Writing Challenge: Story by Numbers".

The number I chose is 21

Character: A man on the run (‘me’)

Place:        A hall of mirror

Situation:  Falling in love with an stranger

Object:      An empty fridge

 THERE IS NO LOVE WHEN YOU ARE HUNGRY:

 This is the story of ‘me’ (‘me’ can be everyone or anyone, ‘me’ just a representation).

 I saw her on the road.   I found myself staring at her.  May be because of the warmth of my sight, I felt a jerk in her slim flexible body, (she might be a belly dancer).  She stared me back, with a slight smile on her nimble lips. The rose was striving to blossom.  Then she turned away and disappeared.  But, it was not a disappearance for me. She was all around me, as I was in a hall of mirrors and in all the mirrors it was her not me.  I was just a beholder.  I tried to run away, I was really running, I wanted to get rid of her images.  She was smiling, and calling   my name without opening her lips, as she knew me since the eternity.  I jerk my head repeatedly.  I again ran, but I did not know where I was going.  Then I found myself in my apartment, standing before the fridge.    I opened the fridge; there was nothing in the fridge.  All at once, I realized that I was hungry!
