It’s Six Sentence Story time again and, just to keep you on your toes, I’m going to continue the tale I started last week. The PROMPT WORD this week over at GirlieOnTheEdge is KNOT
What Happened to Herb?
Sirens and flashing lights attracted a knot of spectators in front of Herb’s house and they watched as paramedics carried him out on a stretcher and loaded him into the ambulance.
“Poor Herb must have fallen downstairs by the looks of him,” a neighbour surmised as the ambulance drove away.
“She must have found him,” another person said, nodding toward the door where a pale thirty-something woman was talking with a policewoman. “I saw her drive up about ten minutes ago and go dashing into his house like she was expecting trouble.”
“While I was watering my planters awhile ago I saw some fellow–a smart-looking guy–go up Herb’s walk and ring the bell.”
“Yes, and I didn’t see him leave so he must still be inside,” said Mrs Robins from across the street, who was notorious for seeing everything that transpired on their block.

So, who is Jonathan and why is he still inside? Intriguing!

Yes, who is Jonathan? Is he responsible for Herb’s injuries or did Herb have a fall? Is J really inside, or did he sneak out when the nosy neighbour wasn’t looking? Thanks for following my tale. I’m glad you’re intrigued.

It does make me wonder what happened to Herb.

Good question. They say if you muse on something long enough, direction will come. Hasn’t happened yet — have to see if next week’s prompt brings some.

The plot thickens as the tongues are wagging. Waiting for next week, in anticipation …continuations around a prompt are really fun!

The mystery continues, more questions than answers. For now. What did happen to Herb? And Jonathon?
