They’ve left the fridge door open.
The cool pooled close,
Breathing light
Into the space
As if the halo of it
Could be
Mistaken
For the life
That no longer
Offered heartbeat
In these rooms
That still echo
With the sounds
Of “please don’t!
Oh please!
Please!
Not the kids!”

I hear you …
It was based on a real story I’d read in the news some time ago. The photo totally reminded me of it, and … well …
Yes, chilling (no pun).

Thanks, Kat.
Yes … I can see how it would be quite disturbing … The photo was a great prompt, and it stirred a memory of a news story I’d seen, which was – as this piece is – quite disturbing. Not the same details, but a similar ‘feel.’
Thanks for the welcome and I will be glad to come visit again!
🙂
