Click, Clock! Click Clock!

It’s Thursday.  I’ve been missing my 100 words and Friday Fictioneers.  I’ve dusted off my fiction cap and joining in again.  We’re hosted by Rochelle Wisoff-Fields of Addicted to Purple.  Our mission is to write a story of 100 words inspired by a photo prompt.  Here’s my story to Amy Reese’s photo.  Hope you enjoy.  If you like, you can join in and tell your story.

My footsteps were so loud.  Click, clock!  Click, clock!  They echoed down the long empty corridor.  I paused and listened.  Was someone following me?  I held my breath.  My skin tingled with anxiety.  Only the thudding of my heart was audible.  Slowly, I turned my head and glanced over my right shoulder.  No one!

I let out my breath.  My shoulders relaxed and dropped.  I started my steps again – slowly and on the tips of my shoes.  The EXIT sign flowed in the distance.  Just then came click, clock.  Click, Clock.  CLICK, CLOCK!  I picked up my heels and ran.

THE MIST – Friday Fictioneers

I peered into the thickening mist calling his name.  Oh, where was he?  It was getting late and the mist was closing in.

I climbed onto the fence, trying to see further into the fog.  My heart was pounding.  I could hear it thudding in my ear.  Maybe I shouldn’t have come.  Maybe he was only playing with me.

Oh, what could I have been thinking!  So foolish!  So stupid!  I need to stop admonishing myself.  I have thrown caution to the wind.  I am committed to live my life.

No time to turn back.  I will trust and wait.
