VisDare 16: Vacant
Write 150 words or less using the photo as a prompt:
In spite of the damp chill in the air, Libby decided to jog to clear her mind. Today she would take a different route that was not quite so physically challenging. Having recently moved to the area, much remained to be explored.
Finding a path through the wooded area, she came upon an open field. The grass seemed to be nearly dead, unlike the rest of the lush green landscape. Strangely, abandoned chairs sat ghostly in a haphazard arrangement. Perhaps at one time an orchestra had played there. Or an outdoor wedding had been suddenly abandoned.
The sight brought her jogging to a halt as she stared at the oddity before her. Intrigued by the sight, she trepidly approached one of the chairs. Just as her hand reached out to it, all vanished from view. Libby gasped and shook her head. Did she have a vision or something else entirely?

What lovely feedback! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this, an intriguing piece that asks for more.
ReplyDeleteOh, what happened? I'd really like to know why they disappeared. Will the chairs be there on her next jog? As Björn said, your story's intriguing.
ReplyDeleteOK. I need to know what happens next! Libby has obviously stumbled on a real mystery here. Great teaser in a tightly-packed punch!
ReplyDeleteThanks all for reading and for your lovely comments and feedback. I guess will have to wait for another prompt that is conducive to continuing this story to see what happens ;-O
ReplyDeleteI liked what you did with this prompt. (even if it is a bit of a cliffhanger)
ReplyDeleteMy brain just takes things and I don't even know where they are going initially. It's a surprise to me too. Strange, I know.
