Flash Fiction Challenge: Vanishing Act

Photo by K.S. Brooks

Ingram had followed her for thirty miles through this winter storm. He shouldn’t have had to do it. She had refused police protection. This is what he’d been afraid of though. She had decided to run.

Suddenly, he became aware of the fact the vehicle he’d been following the last few miles was not hers. He had lost sight of her somewhere in the blowing snow.

Had she turned off? Was she farther ahead than he thought? Now he had to decide what to do. He had to act quickly. It might already be too late. Ingram knew he wasn’t the only one following her.

Flash Fiction Challenge: The Storm

Detective Joe Traeger raced the Buick down the highway toward the coming storm.

The old gypsy woman had been right about everything she’d foretold. He had found the body of the missing boy by deciphering the clues she had given.

It was not over. He had yet to discover the meaning behind her last message to him. She’d said he would travel through a storm to find his house safe, but his home in ruin. He pressed down on the accelerator as the first raindrops spattered on the windshield. There had been no answer when he called. What awaited him at home?
