Flash Fiction: cool or creepy?

Flash Fiction: cool or creepy?

image

Every other Saturday, Jianna and Rosy took a break from their busy school schedules and visited the neighbourhood park, playing their favourite pass-time, “cool or creepy”.

Rosy claimed, she had a gift of knowing people. She’d once read in a book that identical twins were born with supernatural gifts and had been obsessed with the idea ever since, firmly believing hers to be the gift to Judge a person at first sight. Jianna thought it to be nothing but a house wives tale, still, she indulged her twin sister

“So, what do you think about that guy there with the blue on blue?” Jianna asked
“Him? Definitely creepy”, Rosy replied casually.
Jianna took a good long look at the man and concluded, Rosy was just a weird person.

At night, in the comfort of her dormitory, Jianna turned on the radio to hear an alert about a man who had kidnapped a girl from the park. The only thing to identify him, he wore a blue shirt with a blue cap.

  1. Yikes! The man did turn out to be creepy.

    Your imagination is great! I would not have spun this tale from that picture. I’d have probably gone the predictable and boring route about a man and his dog blah, blah, blah. 😀

  2. It appears that Rosy’s intuition kicked in, but Jianna’s did not. She probably has other abilities that Rosy doesn’t have or perhaps this one is just delayed. 🙂 Clever… creepy story. 🙂
