Friday Fiction: 100 Word Challenge [Darleen Click]

The inspiration:

100wordSmoke

A story:

"He's at it again, Mr. Tate."

Her cat answered with a yawn, returning to sleep.

Gladys sighed, turning to peer through the curtains, watching her new neighbor silhouetted against a backyard fire.

Gladys took pride her in observational skills, keeping a journal of neighborhood comings & goings, compiling gossip & license plates. The enigmatic newbie was an exciting addition. Odd night hours, odder night visitors, strange shadows cast by intense, nearly smokeless, fires.

Gladys started, suddenly aware the fire was no longer tended. She was leaning towards the window when a hand gripped her shoulder.

"Dear, do come join us."
