Flash Fiction- The Man with the Fedora

“Why is that man staring at us?” Jilly pointed at the man.

“Which one?” asked Ash.

“The one with the cane and the fedora,” replied Jilly.

“I can’t see him,” said Ash.

“There!” Jilly pointed at an empty corner in the store.

“I don’t see anyone,” said Ash.

The man was standing right in front of Jilly with a crooked smile.

In a flash, he took off his fedora and pulled out a knife.

Jilly ran out of the store screaming.

“Next time be quicker. She must be gone,” said Ash as she whispered to the man.

He nodded and then disappeared.
