So, I’m a bit late with my story for this week’s Friday Fictioneers, but better late than never, eh? I missed last week’s instalment and was determined not to miss two in a row.
The idea for Friday Fictioneers is simple: see the picture, use it as inspiration for a 100-word piece of flash fiction, post it on your blog, share the link over at Rochelle Wisoff-Fields’ website, check out and comment on everyone else’s stories. Easy peasy!
Disappearance
‘Over here! I’ve found something!’
‘Where are you? Frankie?’
A green-bereted head popped up from behind the ruined wall. I was picking my way towards her, concentrating on where I put my feet. I looked up but she had disappeared again.
I can’t believe I let her drag me here, I thought. The beach looked far more appealing.
‘Frankie, you’ll have to wait, I can’t keep up!’
I stopped to pick a stone out of my sandal and heard a scuffle and shouts from behind the archway up ahead.
Rushing through, all I found was one green beret.

I wonder whether Frankie will ever be found
Great setup for a mystery. I wonder if he will look that hard,or just head to the beach.
Good use of foreshadowing with Frankie disappearing twice before her final(?) disappearance.
Oh no! Right when she’s found something. I want to know what it was. That’s just the sort of mystery one can imagine taking place in such a setting.
I think there’s a secret network of tunnels under the rubble and she’s been abducted and taken down there. Hoping her travel mate finds a way in.
