Julie Flash fiction

  Sarah was distraught in her quest for her notebook that held the list of events she was to cater for the month. Her hair dangled in her face as searching. Julie was in still in bed. Her room was covered in clothes. "What a mess" Sarah hissed as she walked by the room. The kitchen dishes weren't done and the living room was filled with newspapers. "Julie it's your turn to clean the house and you haven't done it yet."  Julie entered the room in her pajamas and yawned. "You haven't changed a bit." Sarah said, as she found her notebook under the couch.  Sarah left and Julie cleaned the house.

  When Sarah got home Julie was lying on the couch "What's wrong now?"  Sarah asked. As Julie stood up she nearly tipped over. Sarah began yelling at her friend when suddenly Julie became dim almost transparent Sarah stared surprisingly at her. Julie said "time for me to go home."  Julie became weaker and more transparent as a fate image appeared near the couch of a hospital room and what appeared to be Julie in a bed. Sarah was confused. Softly Julie said "I'm from another time one in which I am very sick and dying I choose to come here to live but my time has run out." Julie left leaving Sarah behind. Just before the image disappeared she sees herself come through the door and hug the fragile Julie.
