SIX SENTENCE STORIES… RIGHT
The Dead Body
“Alfred, I said to turn to the right, not left!”
“How can you be so sure it was a dead body when it was so dark outside?”
“Alfred, I know a dead body when I see one, and my flashlight was working just fine.”
“Maybe you just got scared because you couldn’t get your car started right away and your imagination started to run away with you!”
“Nothing ran away with me, Alfred, and I’ll prove it to you because I see it over there by that old trash bin.”
“I see the body and I was right, your imagination did run away with you because it’s a discarded mannequin and she has beautiful hair!” Alfred said as he laughed hysterically.

Me too! I can understand how it could have looked human in the dark with just a small flashlight and the sudden shock of finding something like that. Thank you for reading and commenting.

Haha. Someone’s been watching too many movies or crime shows. But I think a manaquin in the dark would still be frightening!

ok… (but my compliment is)… is it a mannequin or is it a dead body. (Recently read about ‘unreliable narrators’ and so, maybe Alfred is the one in denial, not the woman/other character!*)
it is a woman, right?

Ha! Could possibly be a real woman! Poor Alfred may have bad eyesight and was fascinated with the hair and unable to recognize if she was real!

In the dark, anyone could make that mistake.

Yes, it could look very real and I doubt she had the nerve to go closer and touch it! Thanks for reading and commenting.

This was great, and I would be so VERY relieved to find out I was wrong about that body I’d spotted in the dark. That’s something I really don’t want to encounter – now or ever!

Thank you! I would be very happy that I was mistaken. I can’t imagine finding a dead body.

What are they squeamish? Don’t just guess, check! You may be in time to save their life. If it is a mannequin then see if it is usable, your wife might like it!

Hahaha! I hear on the tv crime shows that when people see a dead body they think it is a mannequin, so why couldn’t it be the other way around? Cute story, Jessie!
