The Rogue Speaks:
Midnight Phone Call
Lauren felt as if she were hanging on a cliff. Carefully, she replaced the phone, and her eyes filled with tears. She could hear her heart beating wildly in her ears. It had never occurred to her that something so devastating might happen, something that would tear her world apart.
She arose quietly, and tiptoed down to the kitchen. After pouring a generous drink, she sat down at the kitchen table, and stared into the darkness of her living room. Fear and anguish gripped her, and she felt herself spiraling out of control. How could she tell her children? HOW??
Jenny has done it to us again, Centusians! Just when we think she might calm down and let us slowly work ourselves into a new year of her Saturday Centus, she throws us a curve ball! Well, we Centusians must show her that we will successfully tackle ANYTHING she comes up with. And if you don't believe me, just check out the other offerings!!

Ugh. I have a feeling this is not gonna be pretty. And I am definitely on pins and needles waiting...
=)
You're so mean to leave us dangling like that! :)
Please don't say it's so! I hope it isn't her husband. I hope she's got a glass of whiskey in front of her! I know I'd need something to burn going down so I could feel something other than numb. ~Ames
Oh for sure how?...and we have all week to hang on waiting just to see...I sure hope she stops crying before then! What an absolute cool photo! Great choice of music playing in the back ground too.....can't wait to see the conclusion of this!
Hmmmmm - a cliff-hanger. I'll be back....
This is a great piece as usual and the picture brings back memories, only no children to hear the sad news. Wonder what Lauren's story is, though.
Great cliffhanger Judie! I'm hooked! Can't wait to read what this is all about!
Thanks for your kind words on my post!
Best wishes,
Anna
