It was late.
His daughter had still not
returned from work.
He called her many times.
Her phone went unanswered.
It was quite unusual of Anna.
Peter was worried.
He went looking for Anna.

Anna ran a second-hand store in
the mall.
The door was open.
Peter walked in.
No one was there.
Had Anna left?
He asked aloud, “Are you there,
Anna?”
And, then, Peter saw the
mannequin.
He was startled to see that it totally
resembled Anna.
Was it there the last time he
had visited her store?
He couldn’t remember.
Peter redialled Anna's number.
Her phone rang.
What do you think happened? Where was Anna? What should her father Peter do now?

Anna, I think, has become second hand
ReplyDeleteDear Anita,
ReplyDeleteSounds like Anna is something more than just another girl.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Oh dear, oh dear, that doesn't bode well. My guess is that Anna invited the store manager from Margaret's story over...
ReplyDeleteLooks like the 1987 movie Mannequin. A young artist creates a mannequin and his creation comes to life.
ReplyDeleteI think Anna went to help a fellow shopkeeper that had become ill. I like the concern her father has for her safety. This has a great many angles that could be explored. Nicely penned, Anita.
