Auntie's Attic

Tweet

High noon, up on the hill side the road swirls around. An old car makes it's way down and up towards the Old House where the road ends.Mom,dad, and two children,a boy and a girl step down from the car that stopped in front of the house."Auntie, Auntie!" the Children yell with joy,yet no answer was heard. While the parents get some luggage out of the trunk,the Two kids storm into the house "Auntie! Auntie!".The house had a welcoming touch, tidy,clean .A smell of fresh baked bread comes from the kitchen.They rush in the kitchen "Auntie !?" no answer,indeed there was fresh bread on the table. Confused the boy stops to bite a morsel of bread,while the little girl said "look the attic door is opened". Small in stature the boy climbs the ladder with somewhat difficulty:"I know you're in here Auntie!"...giggles. Finally he managed to get up there,looks left , then right, pushes aside a small spiderweb ,worried "...Auntie ? " .He looks around again...and nothing. A small raindrop lands on his forehead forcing him to look up ...a large Large hole was in the roof of the house.By this time the little girl was by his side too, both silent now looking up to the partially clouded sky.The girl weeps and sighs: "maybe she is up there"...
