FRIDAY FICTIONEERS - INTO THE UNREAL WORLD - MY 100 WORDS BY LINDA PALUND

INTO THE UNREAL WORLD

           “The real world!” Ginny cried.

            “I forgot how beautiful it was,” I sighed.

            “Be careful, girls,” the Master cautioned. “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”

            “And the beholder probably bewitched this gateway, too.” I grumbled, kneeling on the paving stones, preparing for the jump.

            The Master made no answer.  He had lost his second sight.  Beholden to the beholder, we paid our ransom in kind, Ginny, her golden hair and I, my perfect teeth. 

            Desperate to escape; we no longer knew what was real or what other traps awaited us.  Together, we hurled ourselves into the unreal world.

FRIDAY FICTIONEERS - GHOSTS ON THE ROAD - MY 100 WORDS BY LINDA PALUND

GHOSTS ON THE ROAD

            When I moved to Willoughby, Jennie warned me.  

            “Don’t take the North Road on Saturday nights.”

            “Why not?” 

            “Too many ghosts walk that route.”

            “Oh? Why is that?” I humoured her.

            “They’re going to the picture show.”

            “Are you serious?”

            “We had a flash flood in ‘95. The North Road became a river. Flooded the town and drowned everyone in the picture house.  
            Saturday nights it was always full.  
            We buried the dead and cleaned up the town.  After we rebuilt the picture house, the ghosts started turning up. They missed the movies, you see.  
           Death is pretty boring.”
