Redemption: #FridayFictioneers
Ed and Jane had put all their life savings in erecting their two storey home. When typhoon Katrina lashed their city, their warm, cosy hearth was reduced to a dilapidated structure.
The kids refused to live their anymore. They said it reminded them of that fateful day.
But there was more to it than meets the eye. The occasional sightings under their bed. Their door creaking open at 3 A.M. They had endured it silently, knowing their overtly pragmatic parents would never believe them.
The typhoon was a blessing in disguise and the move to Edmonton their redemption.

Okay now that was a bit scary! And a typhoon actually turning out good. Nicely told.
Woah, that was one spooky tale.
A blessing in disguise, indeed!
Woa the ending is spooky… Hope it doesn’t follow them to the new House.
Some disasters do turn out to blessings, don’t they?
Very well done 🙂
Spooked me all right. But from typhoons to snow? That was one dramatic shift of residence.
Ah.. the creeks and the shadows .. Good they could get away from the monster house.
Yikes! Those monsters under the bed can be pesky creatures indeed.
Always more than that meets the eye, eh?
Nice one, Natasha.
Keep on writing 🙂
