“Help Me”
“Help me.”
The faint muffled plea came from Rea’s left. While perusing the tall concrete fence, iron bars, and barbed wire, a tiny ::plop:: led her eyes to a plastic-wrapped packet resting in a drainage tube near the grass. Rea pretended to lose direction while reading her phone, to act surprised by something on it, then dropped it close enough to the packet to pick it up.
The missive from Phan described her decade-long imprisonment; that “old toys” were disappeared; that she was next; and a plan, date, time.
On the night, Rea’s pipe bomb liberated Phan.
Next comes revenge.

Rochelle, happy you enjoyed the story. This time I used the magnifying glass and saw the drainage hole and the story took off from there.
Thank you!
Shalom,
Lisa

Ooh, you’ve picked out a detail but taken it a whole unexpected way as well. Phan asks for help and Rea obliterates her? Intriguing!
