Invisible

PHOTO PROMPT © Dale Rogerson


Looking back she could never tell of the day she became invisible.  Perhaps it was a gradual process over the years of being ignored and having her opinions go unheard.

Her own family would make plans without her, barely remembering she existed except when they wanted something done.

Sometimes she would see them enter a room, scrunching their eyes and scanning the room till they found her.  They would come over and make desultory conversation till the words tapered off and they wandered away.

As time went by she found the invisibility liberating, enjoying the freedom that came with it.

Den the weasels start sniggering. I gets mad and shoot all five and finish Fat Albert.
