One Night I Set Out

May 6, 2008

One night

I set out on a trip all by myself.

I didn’t have a map or a ticket I didn’t know where I was going.

But I went alone.

And I was alone.

For awhile.

Towards the end of the trip I heard someone coming towards me-

slowly.

And then I heard someone breathing

just around the corner from where I was was walking

all alone.

And then I stopped.

” Someone there? “

I asked.

No one answered.

” Hey!  Is someone there? ” I called a little louder.

The breathing stopped and the footsteps came towards me-

from around the corner and I closed my eyes tight and put one foot in front of the other and then I flew towards the breathing and the footsteps and the voices that cried out:

” What the hell was that? ” came the voice from behind me and then below me as I took to the darkness above ” What the Hell was that! “

  6. Once when my daughter was on a transfer student trip to Europe, she asked me to wire her more money. So I did. But Western Union said I could send a 5-word message with the money for free – so I wrote,
    “This is it – love Mom!” Kerry


  7. LOL, great five word story, Anita Marie. Mine is “(Audible scream – doesn’t count because it’s not a word) Let’s get outta here, now!”

    Anyone else?
