Innocence



She was doing research on a topic called, “Is tendency to help directly related to innocence?”

She was going through the photographs she had taken.

A little girl pleading her mother to let her carry the baggage... A small boy carefully holding his little sister’s hands while crossing the road. A horse dutifully pouring water to the green grass…

She asked herself how people turn selfish. Is that because they are influenced by the corrupt World outside or is it the disproportionate multiplication of self love? She wondered why dogs are always loyal and not men?

She sighed and went to sleep.

  2. A really interesting take on the prompt. I love the idea of her research. A very minor point- there are a few typos you might want to look at (his little sister's hands; she sighed; pleading with her mother).

  5. I enjoyed your story very much and the message you conveyed. We do treat each other badly. I hope you don't mind I saw a few boo-boo's the following I think you meant 'his'.
    holding her little sister’s hands
    world is capitalized and I think you meant sigh instead of signed.
    Have a wonderful weekend.
