Waiting is such a powerful theme
Thank you. It’s turned up a lot in my short stories.
Lovely descriptions in this.
Dear Carol,
The title put me in mind of Snoopy at his typewriter. Ominous and well written story. I felt a bit of a chill myself.
Shalom and Happy New Year,
Rochelle
I was only ever ‘stood-up’ once. You’ve rekindled that moment Carol. Well done.
Your story makes me wonder who she’s waiting for. And why. Kudos
I hope that she does not have to wait to long. But I do wonder what she is waiting for.
Makes me wonder why she didn’t get on the bus. Good suspense!
