TITLE: THE UNKNOWN
“I’m home!” Abigail called through roaring engine of the car as she drove in over the unsteady bridge which quaked loudly, amplified by the quiet night.
“Oh God.” She gasped as the week bridge gave up, trapping the car’s rear tires in the gutter way.
“Silly big good-for-nothing clumsy trash of a car!” she cussed, venting her frustrations on the staring after failed trials to zoom it out of the gutter way, “I guess you are literally old after all.”
Slamming the car door behind her with hands full of grocery bags, she stumped her way to the front door. “Oh Dian.” she sighed when she found the door ajar. With her wet worn-out boots echoing aloud as she dragged her feet on the wooden floor into the kitchen to drop her grocery bags, taken aback by the uneasy silence that enveloping the house except the light rain shower on the zinc . ‘they must be asleep by now.’ She tried to brush off the dread as she made her way to their only room, the flowers on the sitting room table not going unnoticed.
She cracked the noisy door open enough to peek through into the single worn-out mat at the other end, close to the small crocked window which allows just enough light and air into the incredibly small room.
Unsatisfied at the emptiness of the mat, she walked in, ignoring the agonizing door.
“Dian, Kinsley.” Her voice quavered. “are you there?” she called as she checked the wardrobe before speed-walking out with her breath hitching and her throat bobbling. She broke out without a second thought into a run straight to the first place that came to her mind.
