Seeing Things


“Is that Tom?”

“Where?”

“Walking through the garden toward the backdoor.”

“It couldn’t be, Tom isn’t home.”

The two neighbor women stood at the corner of the house looking down the hill to the riotous flower garden at the back of the yard.  Unsure what she saw Liz, followed by Beth, headed down the side of the house.

Both women studied the empty expanse of yard.  Liz shook her head, a sense of unease creeping over her as she turned to look at her friend.

“See, no one is here.”  Beth said.

“I’m sure I saw someone in the backyard.”
