Here lies monsters (Friday Fictioneers)
PHOTO PROMPT © Russell Gayer
We were told don’t go past the fence.
I heard that rule every day since I started to remember things. Five, six years old maybe? I’m thirteen now. It’s hard to believe the stories. They were told to little kids, right? To stop them leaving?
But monsters aren’t real. I’d not seen or heard nothing beyond the fence.
Shane dared me. I laughed it off, called him a coward and why didn’t he go and prove me wrong.
He’s been missing two days. I ain’t told no one what we said. I watch the fence every minute. He’ll come back.

Shane’s just gone to a better place
I’m not sure if it’s better, but he won’t be back
Why I never take part in dares. Happy New Year Laurie.
Agreed! Happy new year to you too Iain!
Dangerous dares… good story.
Absolutely! Thanks for reading Jelli
that’s scary….
I’m afraid so.
Here’s hoping.. one never knows though!!
Good job! 😉
So true 😳
Of course he could go looking for Shane – that would be another story altogether!
Hmmmmm indeed he could. And what a story that would be
Dear Laurie,
Here’s hoping that Shane’s still alive out there. Ominous and well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
I sure hope so but I fear not
Never climb over the fence! This was great, thank you.
Thank you for reading!
Shane took up the challenge. Now he is missing. Mystery thickens.
There is a reason we are told not to do things… but kids will be kids, right? Let us just hope Shane has discovered something positive… right.
Exactly Dale!!
When do grownups learn that the time always comes when kids don’t take ‘because I say so’ as a good enough reason any longer? I’m afraid Shane met the monsters. This is great, could be the start of something much bigger.
Thanks so much. You are so right. And how many kids respond to ‘dont do it’ with ‘sure’?
LOL. Yes indeed.
I think dares is a common danger for kids… alas there might be other dangers than monsters though
Ooooo so very true Bjorn
