Disappearing Act
PHOTO PROMPT © Roger Bultot
By Scott L Vannatter – 100 words
Here we go with Rochelle-driven Friday Fictioneers. 100 or less words for a full story based on the photo prompt. Has really taught me how to watch words. Other stories and your opportunity to add yours can be found here.
Ramon looked at the tube exhibit overhead with the wonder of a child. He saw aesthetics and questioned function. Jack simply stepped under one and looked up, sneering a bit.
“Empty tubes. So what?”
Ramon heard a conversation nearby and turned before answering. He was thinking about the seclusive life of the artist. He heard a whoosh,then a sharp intake of breath. He turned around to look back at Jack. At least, he looked where Jack had been. Now, just his bowler was on the concrete.
Ramon moved and bent over to pick up the bowler. He heard a whoosh…
Namaste,
Scott

That sounds like the wrong area of the exhibition to linger.

Sinister… the reclusive artist might have been a “collector”

Dear Scott,
I guess the whoosh is the last thing Ramon heard before…
Mysterious.
Shalom,
