RIGHT OR WRONG by Granny Annie
They
began their cheerful caravan. Their campground was selected
in a secluded and wooded area. Everyone loved the way the moon
flickered through the trees.
All
was well until the close group began to gab and gossip
around the campfire.. Of course in this darkness the
subject of ghosts had to come up. Some members got more than a little
freaky as the casual topic turned to the afterlife.
Many were adamant in pointing out more than one error in the
thinking of another. You could always tell who was in the crossfire.
Their
last gathering had been over a decade ago. Then they had gone
on a cruise and enjoyed their time together. But, sadly,
following these heated discussions in the forest, everyone knew this
would be their last time the would go anywhere together.
Not a one of the once friendly crowd noticed the black shadows that began to move closer and closer
into their tiny circle.
The
end (in oh so many ways...)
Well, that was a bit freaky. Perfect for the upcoming Halloween.
ReplyDeleteYes, a great Halloween story.

ReplyDeleteLove this. You always take the challenge in new directions.
You would be great around a campfire on Halloween.
ReplyDeleteGood one, Annie. Sorry for running late. I had a a bit of a mixed-bag weekend! :)
