Weekend Writing Warriors
“What am I going to do? Wait outside?” And, as if things couldn’t be any worse, it began to piss rain.
The lady pointed to the pub down the street where some sketchy-looking men milled around out front, in the mounting fog. “Perhaps you could go enjoy a cuppa,” she suggested.
“I can’t…” Hannah paused when she heard the glass door lock behind her, the lights inside darkening.
“Oh, this is a magical trip. It just keeps getting better and better,” she complained to herself as the rain took on a steady beat.
She looked down the street. Maybe she could get a cup of coffee in one of the establishments, she thought, but changed her mind when she realised the shadows down by the pub seemed to be moving in her direction.

ReplyDeleteOMG! OMG! I'd be freaking out. Seriously, I don't even know what I'd do in her situation. I hope things turn out ok.

ReplyDeleteExactly what Monica said. Good time for the hero to appear. :-)
