Thank you, to Lisa Fox for the Photo–prompt for this week’s Friday Fictioneers.
Our host Rochelle encourages us to write a 100-word flash fiction to illuminate what is behind the pictures. More story contributions are found HERE.
Who Lives There Now?
We appear now and again and look up to the windows where we all once lived.
We see a young lady occasionally staring out.
Marleen and her boy Sam were the occupants before Agatha, who had five cats.
I remember the smell, and it needed a deep clean before I moved in.
We are friends now, Marleen, Sam, Agatha, and me.
Often, we discuss how people never know the history of their home.
Too late for us now.
We shimmer as we look up, knowing that the woman will join us soon.
No one survives the torment of FLAT 13.
