Hello it is time, again, for Weekend Writing Warriors! This is my next 8-sentence-snippet in my latest short story. They have been edited to fit the 8-10 sentence requirement

This story is told from the point of view of a ‘haunt’. She is trapped in a limbo of homeless wandering, when she meets an orange cat and its human child. 

The read the preceding text click here. The story continues with the following 8 sentences:

I rolled off the child and lay in the dirt, dazed, battered and bruised.

“Come Miss! Come!” Unbelievably I felt a tug on my hand. “He will come back, we must hide!”

She dragged me to the bushes and into the scrub, away from the railway line. I crawled and scrabbled in the dirt, finding stillness after an eternity of flight.

I woke to the child gently wiping my face with a grubby damp patch of her ragged dress.
