I had just walked in to find our open-plan home in chaos. Things, our things, were everywhere, strewn across every surface. Then Mandy had come down the stairs, yelling, blaming me for it.
“It wasn’t like this when I went up the stairs.”
That could only mean one thing: intruder. Burglar, wild animal or poltergeist…and I didn’t like any of those options.
Written for Day 8 of A Month of Mini Writing Challenges 2017: Write a story in 75 words or less using the opening line, “It wasn’t me.”
Yes, that could be frightening if you don’t know who did it.
