'Damn.... Where are we?'

'I thought you were looking at your map?'

'I was...But I can't work out where we are'.

'I was supposed to be home hours ago Jake, my parents will be worried'

'Michelle, calm down...now let me see'.....

Jake and Michelle had decided to take the long way around after their date at the usual diner 'Kate's Burger Joint' where Jake had the king size burger with cheese and Michelle had the same thing as always nuggets with chips. They had only been dating for about six months, when Jake recommended he take Michelle through the woods to drop her home.

'Look it says Private Property up there. We are going to get in trouble Jake'.

'Don't be such a baby Michelle, lets go and have a look further down and see what there is'.

'But Jake, the sign, what if we get told off?'

'Michelle' he said as he grabbed her hand, they lumbered their way through the tall grass and passed the orange sign. The sign's wood was dirty and worn out. There was large pine trees obscuring the view ahead, they walked slowly towards them through to the wood beyond.

'What the hell is that?' Jake blurted out.

It was a spherical object, large in size around ten metres in width with the pine trees all around it, it was smooth silver, silky and shiny and resting on the ground.

'Isn't that.... a....UFO?' stammered Michelle.

'WOW.... Its amazing its so huge and look you can't even tell its here, it's hidden in the forest.'

'Jake we should get the blazes out of here, there could be military or something around here'.

'Calm down there isn't no one here, there's just that stupid sign, this thing is amazing I gotta take a picture of it,' he grabbed his mobile phone outta his pocket and took a photo of it with his camera. But then disappeared.

'Jake Jake' screamed Michelle where are you? Jake' she screamed. But there was no one to hear her, or
to see her disappear.

The shiny object then started to shimmer and gleam and then like a chameleon changed so there was nothing there at all just pine trees and grass and only animal traps left on the grass. Inside the two traps was a shoe, and the other trap has a mobile phone with the screen smashed gripped tightly. Other traps had a belt and cuddly toy, there were other empty traps like predator awaiting their next catch.

There was no sign of the UFO or Jake or Michelle, the sign outside remained there as a warning for others not to trespass this private property.

Letters of the Past

The letters in his hand were crisp, clean, and pure white and had the age of youth while Sebastian's hands were wrinkled, old and worn out. He smelt the perfume of the letters which were like flowers in the room showing down onto him. He rocked slowly as he held them and whispered 'Lillian' while Beatrice didn't budge and had gone to sleep purring away in his lap.  As the light glistened in the fireplace the colours were reflecting onto the walls of the living room like colours of the rainbow as he thought of Lillian and the past. It was at university where he had met her first, he was himself lost in the corridors, with his shirt half tucked into his trousers, tie askew and hair rough and looking at the board trying to find his class. He heard her voice, 'excuse me' and turned towards her. It was her golden hair that struck him. It shone in the corridor like a gem and it was long. She looked as though she were a mermaid emerging from the sea. He could feel...

Christmas Wish

Frost was glistening like jewels shining as though it was worth a million pounds. The wind was whistling like a naughty child intermittently. Figures of people hustled around to gather Christmas presents last minute. Their faces were full joy like sunshine because of the air of Christmas was approaching. Kids unable to sleep, counting the hours and pacing within houses. Chestnuts were roasting on the open fires, turkeys defrosting and stockings being laid out in anticipation for Santa’s arrival.      Christina was inside near the warmth of the fire which glowed red and arose like a phoenix from the ashes as it burned warming her up. She was eagerly waiting for Peter’s call. The phone rang like the jingle of bells and her heart started to beat faster. “Hello I miss you” he expressed. “So do I. Been waiting for your call all day, are you going to come back for Christmas Day?” she asked. “I hope so... Works been crazy”. He soun...

The Cello

https://www.creativewritingink.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/vittorio-zamboni-467151.jpg It taunts me as I look at it, where I left it last, in the spare room. It is saying play me, but how can I play? My lost limb is no longer there, taken by the crash, smash of the driver who claims he didn't see me coming. 'Wow you were amazing'. 'You are going to go far with your talent'. 'Next upcoming Cello player Jessica Kimyani'. These were the past phrases, the reviews I used to receive in my concerts. I was approached to play at the Royal Opera House. But the accident took that away like a thief stealing precious momento's from the house. The pink ribbon, lush and full of life, raps itself around the Cello like a snake, whilst I broken, tattered and worn stand in it's glow. 'I'm sorry, but we have to cut the arm off' said the Physician. 'But my arm, it is necessary?' 'Yes I'm sorry Miss Kimyani, but the arm has e...
