Hey Katy, how’s the other side… Hope grandma’s doing okay over there. The past week has been a downward spiral for me with a corkscrew pattern. I lost the one thing I loved, my job. An antique that was put under my care for a gallery we were hosting is missing; I’m the main suspect.
It’s funny how i’ve racked my brains a billion times to see what went wrong, I’m getting nothing. My account’s frozen and I’ve had to live off of Richard. *laughs nervously* I know it’s such a cliche but, thankfully that father of ours has got more money than he can chew.
I wish you were still here… I miss you.
Allison threw the last of the pebbles into the water, then rose up and smarted the dust off her skirt. Katy had aways loved the water; Allison used it as a medium to clear her head when things got complex.
Far off from the lake was a sight which caught Allison’s eye.
Her eyes narrowed, “Who’s that with Richard?”

Interesting Ameena.. Was the start meant to be like a psychic experience?

Thank you 😊. The start was like- when people go to graveyard to talk to their loves ones. Its kindof the same thing, except this time, its a lake.

I went back and re-read the past installments on this story and I am really wanting to know who it is with Richard. This is a good on-going story and I am impressed how you can use each prompt to keep the story going. You are an excellent writer Ameena. 🙂
