Liaison (a 50-Word Story for @jayna)
Greetings, 50-worders and readers. This is my entry to @jayna's #fiftywords contest.
Liaison
“You’d better go check your daddy. He keeps pestering me about that shithole getting flooded.”
“Sure, Ma. I’ll check tomorrow.”
Bullshit, he thought, as he dropped the dish and left. No one expected even a shade over that graveyard or their barren town.
Yet, it rained so hard that night.

Thanks for your reading. Looking forward to your comments.
Great passion in that piece @hlezama... It has me wanting to know more about this scene and story..
Thanks for commenting. I plan to elaborate in other stories about the character of the old lady.
That would be great..
This is wonderfully creepy.
Glad you liked it. It is. Reality outdoes fiction.
Loved this micro tale, @hlezama.
The lady has some dark talents I'd like to know about. Well penned!
Thank you, @marlyncabrera. I hope to be able to develop this character either in future micro tales or in a longer piece. She belongs to the real world and has a fantastic repertoire of anecdotes that defy logic and natural laws.
Nicely done, @hlezama. I am definitely curious to learn more about the family and the mysterious flood.
