FLASHBACK

LILY AND THE STRANGE MAN


The sky was cover with grey angry clouds that thunder,
lightning would light up the dark city and the rain was
pouring. Lily and her mother were walking in great
haste because they had to catch a train ride. Lily ‘s
mother had long legs so for every step Lily would take
two steps.
Lily’s appearance was very really similar to her mother
from the long wavy blonde hair, inquisitive blue eyes
and rosy pink lips. In Lily ‘s hair was a pink ribbon, that
was holding her hair in place when suddenly a gust of
wind blew it away. Lily was stunned. She ran after it,
leaving her mother dumbfounded. The ribbon got
caught by an electric pole.
As Lily picked up her pink ribbon, lightning stroke the
pole. Lily froze in shock. She was suddenly pushed by
someone who looked very familiar. The man was
wearing all black and all Lily could see were the brown
eyes. Then Lily recalled, her father who would wear the
same black coat. It was a dark night; the same night
Lily lost her father.
They were coming from their dinner, Lily ‘s father was
wearing the same black coat. Lily was holding a special
gift from her father, the pink ribbon, in a little hand. Her
eyes sparkling with amusement, she would cherish this
gift with all heart. Lily was lost in her world that she
had not heard a truck honking wildly at her. When she
turned her head, her eyes widen in shock. As the truck
neared, she closed her eyes to embrace the pain but it
never came. She felt strong arms enfold around then
brutal cries of pain. When she opened her eyes, she
witnessed scene that left a whole in heart.
Her father was lying there lifeless. Lily rushed to her
father side. Begging her mother to call an ambulance.
Tears trickled down her cheeks. When the ambulance
arrived, lily felt relived but was still alas.

When lily was got out of a daze, she was welcomed by


an incensed but worried mother.
‘Lily! Why did you leave my hand and ran away like
that!’ Shouted her worried mother.
‘I`m sorry.’ She muttered with her head down.
Her mother hugged her and said softly ‘It’s okay but
never do that again. are you hurt anywhere?’
Lily shook her head and said ‘Mum do you know where
dad is?’

Lily ‘s mother was stunned by the sudden question. As


they entered the train lily saw the man who saved her.
She walked to him and said ‘Thank you for saving me,’
with a beaming smile pasted on her face. The man
looked up and his eyes met lily ‘s mother. Realization
hit Lily. ‘Dad?’
