Visual Dare #12
Parked Outside
The grey storm clouds hovered uncertainly over the crooked
terracotta streets, drowning the lively colours of the town in sleet and rain. Georgia waited in the cramped space
of the old car, impatience itching at her skin as she tapped irritably on the faded
steering wheel, her porous leather boots blending with the interior detailing
as they wobbled lazily on the dashboard.
Relieving the numbness in her backside she righted herself from the deep
slouch and opened the door, the rusted vehicle shuddering from the impacting
gale against the sudden obstruction, and welcomed the cold needles of the
downpour.

I could not dispel the scenes of car chases and shadowy murders from my mind. I may not be able to restrain myself from extending this tale...
A Reckoning - Part Two
From the Ashes - Part Three
Burn - Part Four
A Reckoning - Part Two
From the Ashes - Part Three
Burn - Part Four

I hope you do extend the tale!!! I'd like to know what Georgia is waiting for. Terracotta streets plus sleet/rain seems deliciously incongruous - would like to know more about this world it's set in!
