Wild Imagination
Photo prompt © Rochelle Wisoff-Fields
‘Grandpa, there’s someone in that house.’
‘No my child, it’s been vacant for ages.’
‘But I saw someone. He was there in that window, looking at me. He looked like a big toad’
‘Your imagination is running wild.’
‘Trust me, there’s someone, he looked at me, his face was wrapped in a black mask, he uncovered his face and you won’t believe what he looked like.’
‘What did he look like?’
‘He looked like a revenant.’
‘Where did you hear this word?’
‘I know.’
Grandpa looked at the child thoughtfully. Suddenly an abrupt movement in the vacant house caught his attention.

  2. Dear Arora,

    I guess Grandpa should listen closely. Nicely done.

    Shalom,

  3. Children see far more than we think.. It is just that the innocence sometimes gets the perspective wrong? Well told!
