Light in the sky – Photo by Madison Woods
It was a quiet night for Jenny. The kids were sleeping. Her husband had gone out with friends. She sipped on tea as she read. Suddenly, she heard a strange sound and saw a light flashing in her backyard.
Heading outside, the sound stopped, and the only light was the moon behind the clouds. Still looking up, she saw that the moon had moved its position quickly. “That’s not normal,” she thought.
Three hours later, she found herself standing in the backyard. Police, family and friends were in the yard. They had been looking for her. She was missing time.

Life in the Foothills 
Now that’s quite some mystery.
It is! 🙂
this was sooo good
I am glad you enjoyed the story! Be well WW!
Aliens or dementia?
Good piece.
You pick. 🙂 Thanks!
Oh, very intriguing. Either someone is messing with her (tea) or she has amnesia, or… great story.
Glad you enjoyed the story!
Dear Barb,
Something strange happened here. you leave a lot up to the reader’s imagination. Nice.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you Rochelle! Be well… ^..^
Quite mysterious!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Ooh, I hate when that happens! I hope the aliens didn’t treat her too badly… 😉
I doubt that they did. Rumor has it they plied her with red wine, pizza, music and ice cream. 🙂
That would work!
🙂
Yoou have definitely whet my curiosity.
🙂
She might be missing a bit more. How frightening. Well done!
Thank you Yolanda!
Sure that was tea? Just kidding. I liked the twist at the end. Very interesting. I would like to know more!
🙂 You are funny!
Was her lapse of time due to those elusive Greys?
I leave that up to your imagination PJ!
Ooh, a little bit creepy. We both went for the sinister this week. I wonder what happened to her in those missing hours?
Ask the greys!
Ooouu spooky! She was abducted by the aliens!
😀 Added the greys in again without saying “greys.”
Haha! I noticed that! You sneaky girl!
🙂
Finally a UFO story 🙂 Glad she made it back to tell a tale. Nice one.
Ah, but you are wrong. She cannot remember what happened to her in the missing time….. 🙂
Intriguing! I wonder where the missing time went, and why?
Ask the greys.

I am relatively new to the blogging forum so please feel free to visit my blog and leave some feedback if you even find the time. Shreya
Thank you Shreya. You have a lovely blog too. I see that you only do a post per month. Are you planning on doing more in a month? I would be more than happy to help you if you have questions about how to work with WP and posting. You be well… ^..^
P.S. I usually edit out links in comments to other blogs.
I am planning on posting more often. Your help would really be valuable. 🙂
Just let me know…
You could check out my most recent post and tell me if I’m writing okay? Maybe help me out with the tags and categories?
Tags: Life, personal, emotions, blogging (to get traffic), love, self-help.
Categories: You will develop these as you write more. As an example, take a look at mine. It has developed over time. My “Recipe Box” used to be “In the Kitchen.” I decided I liked recipe box better.
Nice post!
