The hairs on the back of her neck bristle. Looking up, her gaze fell on a man and his cat. His eyes were black, as black as the cat he held.
A shiver ran through her as he continued to stare at her. For some reason she was frozen in place.
Then, he was moving. Slowly, he walked toward her.
Her heart quickened. He was close now, only a few feet away. His eyes never left hers.
Suddenly, he stopped. Knelt down, and placed a single rose on the grave next to where she stood before turning and walking away.
Ooooh - very intriguing - totally loved it - but now there are all sorts of questions rattling around my head and you know there's not much room in there!

ReplyDeleteHey Ms. Sherri, that was one very intriguing FFF post - it left me with all kinds of questions in my mind and it's a beautiful set-up for a sequel FFF post. Are you up to the challenge?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I am delighted that I twisted your arm and dragged you kicking and screaming to join our FFF troop. Well done again.
Aw. Thank you, Benjamin. I'm having a blast so far. As for continuing it... I guess we'll see where inspiration leads me. ;)
