Fiction: Abandon

Lillie McFerrin Writes

Abandon

Lucy and her friend Tracy went for a walk one afternoon,on their way they saw a building, which seemed empty, they quietly walked over to see what was inside.

When they stepped in front of the door, they heard someone saying,”please can someone help me, I want to go home?”

Lucy instantly made a move to go in, Tracy held her back, she said, “No Lucy this might be a trap, let us go back!”

At first Lucy was reluctant to listen to her friend, Tracy related the story of her cousin who went for a walk and disappeared this news unnerved her and she decided against going in.

The two friends decided to go to the shopping mall, Tracy wanted to buy a few things, in the mall they met Melanie, who  came running to tell them something, she was breathless the words Tracy,  Lucy was barely audible, She told them  about some building where the police had gone to investigate after pedestrians nearby alerted them about someone crying for help, no one lives in the building, the parents all over the town are cautioning their children not to go near it, Tracy and Lucy looked at each other and realized it sounds like the same place, they breathed a sigh of relief for not going in!
