Does it happen to you? You see someone, and you’re sure you know them. From school? From work? An old neighbor, maybe? This woman I saw yesterday seemed so familiar, but who was she? The whole evening I couldn’t let it go, and kept on searching in the dark recesses of my mind.
This morning I suddenly knew. Alice! The bitch who had pinched my boyfriend Thomas. Tall, elegant, charming Thomas. And married him.
Wasn’t it just last year he was sent down for bigamy and swindling all those women out of their savings? Serves her bloody well right!
A slightly late entry for the current 100WCGU: …in the dark recess of my mind…
Stray Thoughts 
You as well? I am always doing it – I can never remember where I have met people. Think it’s my age 🙂
I’m afraid I’ve had it since I was 20, so I’m not sure I can blame it on age. But then I can never remember names to start with…
I would call this the ‘great escape’. Bigamy, eh?
Or maybe the “silver lining”? Well, we’re always being told to see she bright side :-).
Definitely serves her right! Think you should push her name back into that dark recess!
Things in the dark recess keep popping up again though, don’t they?
This prompt made for some dark stories, though not as many ghosts as I’d expected.
Nice story – yes I know that feeling! And the image – magical!
Thanks. I can’t even put it down to age, I’ve always had it…
…It says it all.
When I let go the bit, I remember. 😉
Funny how the brain works, isn’t it?
That is so, and that is probably why there are so many psychologists working on understanding the cognition processes. Good luck to them (and us). 🙂
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. I’m glad you did it was a heart warming laugh to read your blog from the mists.LOL
Thanks for calling back. I’m glad you liked it.
I love the photo and the story. I have so much trouble remembering and matching names/faces. The lesson is karma is a bitch.Thanks for visiting my blog.
Thanks. I’m always glad to know it’s not just me.
