It was a tiring day at work, Laima made a mental note of the wrap up tasks before she could call it a day.

Oh she had to pin the final checklist in the new apartment which would be occupied tomorrow. She entered the room and switched on the light. Just as she was about to take out the old checklist, she noticed a doodle on the wall. Sarah, the other helper who had just come in smiled “aww looks like a kid did that, how cute”

Laima froze, her eyes wide open, her face had turned white as a sheet “Thats Jamie, he used to draw that all the time as and I always reprimanded him and wiped it off. Jamie ran away from home last year and I haven’t seen him since.Maybe he is back” she said with a flicker of hope.

Mr Martin the owner who was overhearing the conversation shook his head. There she goes again, poor Liama drawing and erasing these smileys in the name of Jamie.

  6. Oh, poor Laima. Stirring story Aks. Or was it really Jamie? Strange coincidence, the protagonist of my post for the same prompt this time is Jamie as well! Well, Geniuses think alike, what else can I say :)?
