Eighty-eight words for Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt where the given word is Downpour.
Saturday morning it was. He poured a coffee and settled down with the newspaper. Not much of interest.
In the sports section, he noticed the result of a football match. He didn’t realise it had been played yet. The weather forecast was odd too. Sunshine it promised, not the downpour battering his windowpane.
But it was a picture on the obituary page that startled him, a photograph of himself. A mistake, surely.
Then he noticed the date at the top of the page. It was next month’s paper.

Poor guy! He’d better start saying his good-byes. You made quite the tale in 88 words.
I think you’re right! Cheers Christine.
OMG
That about sums it up!
Hi Keith – despairing take on the 88 words you were allowed – but an excellent twist of fate. Stay safe – Hilary
Thanks Hilary, you too.
Interesting take on the prompt. You can build a story from here onwards

Nor me! Thanks Na’ama.

Most kind of you Ma’am!
Scary, but i hope he uses his time wisely.
No harm in breaking the rules under the circumstances! Cheers Mimi.
Okay. That was spooky.
I guess it was! Cheers Denise.
Well… 😯😯
Indeed!
What a horrid thing to see! Gah! Who really wants to know when their end is coming?
Well done, Sir!
I couldn’t agree more! Cheers Dale.
Ai! I hope he finds the time travel level that allows to change the future …
That’s a thought! Thanks Na’ama.

A scary tale, yet a very interesting one, Sir 🙂
Thanks Roshni.
Well done, Keith. A one month notice. Wow. You need five more words, “and then he woke up.” I agree with Rochelle:chilling.
If I’d had two more words I could have said ‘and then….’ and left it hanging. But I didn’t! Cheers Bill.
Excellent! Now talk about chilling! This is extremely chilling.
Not something I’d wish to experience! Cheers Annette.
Oh my. What a chilling, twisty end!
Just a bit!!
Interesting twist at the end!
That’s probably what he thought! Cheers.
Ohhh that’s creepy!
Well done, Keith
Creeped me out writing it! Thanks Shweta.
