THAT WEEKEND IN DUBLIN

Friday Fictioneers 5th March 2021  That Weekend in Dublin

Seemed a good idea, a catch up, in Dublin, stay in rooming house, two old friends. Eat in cafes. The house was a ramshackle collision of two Georgian houses. Jake’s room was half a level higher than mine, leading off mutating corridors, different each time we went upstairs. Over supper on our second night, Jake hinted at serious health problems then clammed up. I went to my room with a heavy heart, such a dear old friend.

Next morning I waited for Jake by the bar, sure that’s what we agreed ?

 I’d knock on his door, but there was no such room.

Missing persons couldn’t locate him. I never saw him again.

I enjoy making quirky and kind observations about other peopleand about places. I write short word sketches about certain situations that feel significant to me, I draw little cartoons. I reflect on particular t.v programmes, films and books as they grab my interest

    I could literally ‘see’ this building, corridors shapeshifting, half-floors above one another doors. So well done.

    Great description here. I like a cliff-hanger too, although hopefully for the main character, the mystery will be solved at some point.

    “A ramshackle collision of two Georgian houses.” The imagination goes a little cock-eyed thinking about that. Good mystery, best left unsolved–more fun that way 🙂

    This definitely has the chill factor. Reminds me the old “Twilight Zone” TV series and imagining how Rod Serling would introduce it…

        You’re welcome. Don’t remember ‘It Came from Outer Space’ but it sounds like it’s of the same ilk.

      Thanks Ceayr, I don’t know where the mutating corridors came from, though I did stay in a Dublin guest house once rather like that, & returned to tell the tale ! Im early this week having emerged from a miasma of computer malfunctions.
