Given the prompt word Lillie has given us this week of “WISHES,” if feel as it’s a good opportunity to offer another UNEDITED SNIPPET from my W.I.P, an adult Contemporary with a paranormal element running through parts of the storyline entitled “His Darkest Secret.”
In this snippet, it’s Friday, and Jessica has been married to Warren for only five days. She has just returned home from work and as she at the front door with the keys in her hand she begins to quickly think of Bill, her relationship with him and the child they had produced, as well as other items. She then begins about Warren came into her life, answering her silent prayers.
MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED
Who knew my prayers would be answered the night Warren showed up at my front door as I ate dinner with a letter stating I’m ready to use his services as an architect from Bill. Who knew anyone else, but me, would be receiving a letter from Bill; much in the same manner I’ve received several from him, with each letter coming when some important or special event which would be happening shortly in my life.
I wish I could tell someone this story, but who’d believe me, especially the way our lives have crossed so many times even before we knew each other. Yes, who’d believe me, because at times I can’t even believe it myself, and I’d lived through them.
I can’t stay here thinking about the pass, I need to go inside and get on with the wonderful life I now have with Warren and our three children.

Interesting to see the sandwiched effect between two relationships 🙂

Hi Shailaja Their relationship isn’t really as complex as you might believe it is, but it’s quite interesting. Bill had been dead for about 14 months [not mentioned here] when Warren showed up at Jessica’s door one evening as she ate her dinner with a letter of introduction he’d just received from Bill. The relationship between all three are interconnected as I’ve suggested in the above.
THANKS for you compliment.

Sometimes relationships are so complex. Good one Robin

THANKS for the compliment Tina.
Yes Jessica’s relationship is indeed somewhat complex, especially since one of them [Bill] has been dead for 14 months when Warren first shows up on the scene. And as I’ve said in my post Jessica’s and Warren’s paths have crossed several times before they even knew each other. And one of these times they’d been only about two feet apart from each other.

That would be a little eerie, getting letters after someone had passed away. It made me wonder if he might still be alive.

The eeriest of receiving a letter from an individual is precisely how Warren felt the night he showed up at Jessica’s front door and she told him Bill’s dead. Bill’s definitely dead because Jessica and her best friend Emily [head nurse on the hospital ward Bill died on] saw him lying in his bed with the sheet drawn over his body, Glad you felt eerie reading this snippet since this is the emotion I wanted to elicit from those reading this.
Have a GREAT HUMPDAY !!!
