It’s Round 2 of Build A Story With Bryan, same idea as before. I’ll start us off with the opening sentence and then you add a sentence or two and take the story in any direction you see fit. Remember, it’s first come first written, so please continue off the last sentence added in the comments section. Thanks again for participating, here we go:
While the record changed, he noticed his right hand moving independent of where his brain had told it to go, instead of adding ice to her drink it was reaching for the light switch that had appeared where one hadn’t been before.
What’s going to happen next?
All he could see was the light switch case. There was not a switch to turn on or off. Yet as his hand came closer to the switchless case, the lights flickered like a strobe light in some old fashioned long forgotten disco hall. It was at that moment he could feel the hair on the back of his neck raise and the realization set in that he was not alone.
He hoped that the outdated wiring in the abandoned warehouse he called home was on the fritz again, but it was hard to convince himself that it wasn’t something more sinister. Strange things like this had been happening to him ever since he’d met Seren Grossmann for a drink at Nando’s last Tuesday.
He put the ice in her bowl, filled it with water and set it down. Angela was there immediately. She was thirsty. He watched her, but his thoughts returned… to last Tuesday.
