Compelling Story Writing to Capture Readers' Imagination

K Owary

A strike from 9:59 to 10:00 in the morning sitting quite patiently at the café balcony whilst absorbing the warm winter sun Rahim awaits for his…person?
Tapping and humming along to the tunes being played at the café he’d once take a sip from his refreshing coffee, then check his watch or his phone at the table; repeating the cycle for the last 5 minutes. He was beginning to get subtly anxious because that’s just how Rahim is, dislikes being late but something was tweaking him a little different today.
Was it the morning uneasiness or the trace of emergence in the tone of the text that he picked the night before her? The cuckoo sang sitting on the branch that almost touched the balcony railings, he loved the moment but the bird was way closer than his liking.
Picking his phone he messaged “are you here yet?” mumbling under his breath as he wrote it, and the immediate ding of a brief “yes” brought him a beautiful smile. Asking for a refill of his coffee he ordered her favourite drink too knowing all too well for some time now. Sighing happily he placed his hand over his heart checking his watch one more time while the familiar boot fall knocked over the wooden floor around the almost empty café; 10:10 am sharp.
