Water Everywhere?
(Continued from last 2 weeks and the week before)
By Teresa Smeigh 2019
As Myra surveyed the emptiness around her except for the little guys with the arrows. She was frantic to find her family.
There was a large crack of thunder and that storm that had been threatening over at the fast food restaurant suddenly broke loose and started to pour.
As she watched, the little guy standing in front of her car and pointing his arrow at her was struck by the pouring rain and he simply disappeared. She looked around and not only were the little guys disappearing, but the townspeople were reappearing in the positions they had been in when they were shot and disappeared.
The rain continued and from her position, the little guys were gone. Her friends were reappearing, and the carnival runway was packed with customers scrambling for cover from the rain.
She didn’t know what was happening other than that water made the little guys disappear and her friends were reappearing. This must be the secret. The rain melted them. She looked at their pyramid and slowly watched it disappear into a pile of dirt as the rain continued to pour. Her son and husband knocked on her car window. They were all safe.
