We found it!
There it was, materialising right in front of our very eyes. Shimmering in the distance. We must have just crossed over into the Twilight Zone because that bar was bloody there. Up until now I haven’t been a great believer in the paranormal but now I’m a convert. How else can you explain the fact that a solid building can be standing in one spot then disappear only to reappear the following Monday in exactly the same place? And, I kid you not, in a street that we’d walked down loads of times before and definitely hadn’t seen it. Honest it wasn’t there until now, it wasn’t, it really wasn’t.
We went in for a drink and a snack to make sure it wasn’t just a cardboard replica and found the same barman as last Wednesday. I had to get to the bottom of this somehow.
“Did you have many customers YESTERDAY AND THE DAY BEFORE AND THE DAY BEFORE AND THE DAY BEFORE THAT?” I asked subtlely.
“Been on holiday for the past four days?” I said with a knowing wink.
I turned away from the bar as if to go out and then suddenly turned round quickly and said quietly in an accusing way, “I suppose you’ve served a lot of SPIRITS recently.”
“HAVE YOU?” I shouted.
It was all to no avail, It was obvious he didn’t want to talk. Mainly because he was Spanish and couldn’t understand a bloody word I was saying.
As I left I swear I heard him say, “See you next Wednesday” followed by a maniacal laugh which echoed down the street and faded into the distance as we ran for our lives along the street, that same street we’d walked down a hundred times before.
Spent the afternoon by the pool.
