The Meeting

 

 

 

#FlashTag @monologging The Phone rang. “Meet me on the tenth floor fire escape,” the wheezy voice said.

#FlashTag@ I’ve been waiting for this call, (Running) I get to the fire escape. “Come out! Where are you?”

#FlashTag@ The sun had set. No twilight afterglow, only shadows fading in the dark. Across, I saw the red tip of a cigarette.

#FlashTag@ “So you’re here.” An inane comment from my lips, of course. Her cigarette flared orange, red, orange, in response.

#FlashTag@ “Come out of there. Let me see you,” I called. “Why did you come back?”

#FlashTag@Monologging “Isn’t it enough to know I’m back?” My sister said, putting out her cigarette. “You know I can’t be seen in public.”

Emergency

 

#FlashTag @monologging Lola leaned over Grandpa. “He’s not breathing!” She yelled.

#FlashTag @monologging “We shouldn’t be here,” Aiden, Lola’s kid brother said. He was shivering. “Nobody knows Grandpa lives here.”

#FlashTag @JeffreyFBarken Fright implied flight. Brother & Sister fled the abandoned building where Grandpa lay dying.

#FlashTag@itsjaykyall Outside, Lola called 911 from a payphone. Aiden held her shirt sleeve & stared at the boarded-up building.

#FlashTag @monologging Sirens howled. Upstairs, in the dark, Grandpa’s eyes opened. He gasped for air. End of the road, eternal refugee….

#FlashTag @JeffreyFBarken Grandpa crawled to the door. With the last of his strength, he locked the portal. He breathed. The medics knocked.

#FlashTag: Neglected

 

#FlashTag @monologging “Long time back there was a family living in those woods.”

#FlashTag @itsjaykyall “Fire?” “No, wasn’t a fire. But something sure spooked them. They left in an awful hurry.”

#FlashTag @monologging “You afraid of ghosts?” Pat asked Grady. The big kid shook his head. “Where there’s treasure, I’m never scared.”

#FlashTag@ “Better get a move on then,” Pat said. “You got your pack?”

#FlashTag@ They trekked through the woods, toward the abandoned house. Twigs cracked. Glass crunched. The door creaked open.

#FlashTag@ Report filed: Boy missing. Grady found terrified, survival,his treasure. Pat,the ghost.The door open and waiting.
