Green Droplets : A 5 Minute Free Write

in #story7 years ago (edited)
He was startled by a strange noise coming from the attic.. He has been living in the old house since his childhood.. he lived alone in there.. The last time he heard that strange noise was over 43 years ago when he was 11 years old.."O dear God, is it back?", he murmured, "is it going to take me away?"

He picked up a shotgun from his dad's cabin, cocked it and slowly made his way up to the attic..
Strange noises started getting louder and with each step of the stairway, his heartbeat was getting faster..
"Cheeeeeeennnnn", the attic door made the noise as the old man slowly opened it.. and the voices stopped..

"Nothing.. ?? Huh???" Now confidently, he entered through the door and started searching for the source of noise in corners.. during detailed inspection, he came across few green droplets on the floor..

But no one has been here for over 40 years and it was a sunny day too so water leakage was out of question. How did the water droplets end up here and why is it green?

He had so many questions and no answers.. no one to talk to about it.. no one would have had taken him serious anyway..

He was still wondering about the entire scanrio when he felt someone's hand on his shoulder.. his heart almost came into his mouth..

The old man could not turn his face around to see who was it and thats when The fear got the best of him.. so he killed himself with the shotgun to avoid seeing the unknown entity..

hmmmmmmm.........I LIKE this! it has the beginning of a GREAT story!!!
I think you need to read it again......after a few beers? or without LOLLL

and I have some that to me make no sense and one I even found a FAIL sign and posted it that way LOLL but others saw much deeper into what I wrote.......

Alway remember and never forget it's the writing that counts! not so much what you write.........and it's hard sometimes, I know, to find the flow.........
BUT saying all that.......this IS a GOOD story!!!!!!! tho sad LOLLL
How your mind can make you do things you normally wouldn't do just from old memories!!!
See.......it's really a deep story so 😋
Happy New Year!!!!!! Tip!

Hahaha thank you so much for the tip and for the compliments.. actually i feel disappointed in myself. The story made no sense.. i was going to give it some alien touch LMAO.. but actually 2 hours prior to writing that, i hit my forhead against a brick (literally) and got 3 stitches.. so may be i was not thinking clearly..

Wow I really liked this take on it, very dark ending.

Definitely a different take than I had on the prompt!

You story was awesome.. i left a comment on it.. mine had a different take alright.. but it wasnt a good take though :D

I think it makes a lot of sense!! Rather than facing what we fear - we might go as far as to kill ourselves. I like it!! Hope your head is better - saw your reply to snook.
