She was taking a vacation after
almost a year after the death of her partner.
She had no clue why she had chosen that place for a holiday.
The solo-traveller started feeling secure the moment she landed at
Down Island.
A souvenir store near her hotel caught her fancy.
She wanted to visit, but it was closed.

On the day of her return, she was thrilled to see the shop was open.
As she walked in, the elderly shopkeeper exclaimed, "Liza!"
She was surprised how he knew her name!
She nearly jumped seeing her life-size portrait hanging inside the shop.

ReplyDeleteDear Anita,
ReplyDeleteStrange occurrence indeed.
Shalom,

Not sure how I would feel about my portrait appearing like that! Kinda creepy!
ReplyDeleteEntering that door brought her to another dimension!
ReplyDeleteTime travel, I'd guess! Good mystery :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe she looks like her grandmother named Liza that had a romance with the old gent years ago? Maybe that's her grandma?
ReplyDelete.. the picture came alive, reached for her hand and drew her in ... No, that's silly!
ReplyDeleteHere's mine!
Very strange.
ReplyDeleteJust a tad creepy, but maybe he's really a good guy who either saw her once and never forgot--or had a vision :)
