Flash Fiction #8 – Little Hero in the Woods

When my phone died, 

I thought I’d also die in those woods. 

But then I passed the long-abandoned cottage.

 Something brushed against my leg; 

I was shocked to see a beagle 

with the markings of a German shepherd 

and corgi legs.

 

I hurried behind this plump, wagging thing. 

When we got to the clearing, 

I gratefully pet my little hero. 

 

I spun her decaying collar around

to find who to return her to: 

Midas. 

Beloved dog. 

1920.

 

I gasped, fell over. 

When I got back up, 

she was gone. 

Only the collar remained.
