This is a stand alone freewrite, although it does follow on from "Jelly". To start at the beginning click here.

As he passed through the church, Mike grabbed one of the doilies from the back of a pew and stuffed it in his pocket. He had no idea why.

But he did it.

Jelly, wobbled his way ahead, and didn't notice. Or if he did, he didn't say anything.

At the other side of the church, Jelly pushed a door open and Mike gasped as he found himself looking at what looked very much like a fried chicken takeaway.

Generic.

Not from Kentucky or anything.

"Bloody hell," he said. His mouth was open now. Mrs Jelly was behind the counter.

That also didn't make sense.

Wasn't she outside? In the garden?

"Would you like a bucket of chicken, dear?" she said. Jelly nodded his head, vigorously. "Not you, idiot. Him," she pointed at Mike.

Mike just stared back.

"You..," he said. Then he coughed, shook his head, and said, "I think I need to sit down."

Jelly nodded, as though he completely understood, and showed Mike to one of the red plastic chairs.

"Sit here, sport," he said. "I'll get you some chicken..."
...

Go on, tuck into another serving of Jelly...

Some HUGE news for me!

Another one of my steemit stories has been selected to appear in the Isle of Write Anthology!

“Haunted” is a ghost story (not that the title gave that away or anything) and it currently has 7 parts to it. But it isn’t finished yet. So I had better get on with it, hadn’t I…

It joins my 8 part story “Reunion” that was selected a few weeks ago.

Please support @isleofwrite by visiting their page and checking out their post, they are doing a great job of highlighting good writing, so if you like reading you should really check them out.

You too can be curated and find your story in an @isleofwrite anthology : read the post and find out how!
