THE OLDEST TRICK
Evelyn didn’t
understand why her husband detested Luci, she was such a friend. Well he
needn’t know where this evening’s delights came from. Luci had convinced her
this was the elixir of life and tonight they would be not only immortal but
omniscient.
Emerging from the
darkness Luci hissed:
“Tonight , you’ll be with me in Hell.”
My Friend -Ricky
He had coughed all night long keeping me awake. It sounded like he was choking but I knew he had had nothing to eat that he could choke on. Old age hadn’t crept in it had just leapt in. One day Ricky was fine running around chasing the grandchildren, the next, well…. I cried all the way to and from the vets.
SO AFRAID
The dark stillness
hung in the air and encroached my senses. The flurry of snow became more of a
blizzard. Shadows crept and leaped at every turn, my heart raced, I tried to
quicken my pace but the icy snow crunched underfoot and I found myself
slipping. Slow down, don’t be stupid I told myself. Crunch, footsteps behind.
Complete darkness.
TIME TRAVEL
“I don’t want to be in
that stupid Nativity” Rhys snuggled beneath the quilt. Waking suddenly a bright
light created unrecognisable shadows in his room. What was that smell? A lamb
bleated, shadows became people. He dived undercover peeping as a baby cried and
angel voices sang:
“Hail, Prince of
Glory”
Rhys would never view
the Nativity the same again.
OLD
WOUNDS
Elsie sat staring at
the man at the adjacent table. He was handsome and charming, the lady facing
him was enthralled. Elsie’s heart fluttered, she tingled then involuntarily
shivered , raised her hand to the scar running deep down her face.
Flicking back her hair
she motioned to them to look at her scar.
“That’s how charming
John really is.”
