Shivers And Frights

Remember Him

I sat at a bus stop with my legs crossed and waited for the night bus. I saw an old woman come close to me only able to walk with the long cane she desperately was clinging too.

She sat down next to me all static and scared. I had to try and release her stress somehow it's unhealthy for women her age.

"What's the matter Ma'am?"

"Ohh dear my grandson has gone missing! I can't find him anywhere!"

"Do you have a picture of him?"

"Oh yes! Oh yes thank you!"

She rummaged through her pocket and pulled out a picture with dust on it. I was shocked by the horrifying contents.

The picture was of my old childhood friend Dave. I was in the picture as well hugging him tight. I began to cry he had drowned in a lake twenty years ago.

"So have you seen him!"

"No I'm sorry I haven't seen him in a long time."

"Wait you've seen him!"

"Twenty years ago yes! He drowned in the local lake and he died"

"Oh"

The old woman chuckled and laughed!

"So your the one who got away?"

"What?!?"

The old woman grabbed my neck and held tightly and wouldn't budge. I started to loose all oxygen.

Her face was so wrinkly and familiar when I realized that was Dave's mother.

"Now you will see him again you BITCH!"

I panicked and started to shove my fingers in her eyes until she let go. I slapped her across the face and tried to run.

But, she had already got me because she had tired me out. I couldn't run anymore my lungs were already drawn from oxygen it couldn't lose anymore.

The most terrible part was watching her warble over to me and once again strangle me shouting.

"You will see him again! You were my only witness."
