Well, you stuck in an ending this time :) . With a ten word limit, why put in a mundane adverb?

The Monsoons brought her, and took her away again.

Lovely. Love the sound of monsoons with the action. [insert ***gold star*** smilie]
 
Here's my second entry, tried to evoke 'Russian soul'. Can't judge myself, feel free.

Tatiana and the child don’t move. Mother weeps, father reads.

The contraction makes it eleven if you want to be pedantic about porusski.

The letter falls. Mother weeps. Oblo puts on his boots.

No, a contraction is one word, and nothing to do with pedantry. Plus I'm the boss here, mate.

Derivative (again). Unless you tell me you wrote yours without seeing mine.
 
They were fallen and falling, and all they knew of life was blood and pain and love that dies...

Again, too long, but that's from one of my DF stories. Sums up the whole series in one sentence.
 
Aww, it's a little muff! Genuine Russian mink. I lick.

Rearranged and appropriated as my third entry. :) Oh, OK, co-authored with Stella (my new fella).

Um, Ok. But doesn't make me want to read the whole thing. Too many ands; 'fallen and falling' is awkward, more like a tongue twister (and not in a good way :) ).

You go for Russian soul but I'm derivative.

(again) Consistency is all I ask.

You are a finicky man. Going for a certain style or mood is not derivative. Your last attempt looked as if you were also going for Russian soul, or plainly copying me.

"Consistency is all I ask", how blokey.

Looking into the garbage she thought, "We don't use condoms."

I'm the kind of writer that likes to let the reader take the story where they would... I know how several of my female friends have reacted to it ;)
