Greetings Hiveans of the Freewriters community. Here is a pictureprompt where you have a chance to show your writing skills. Here is the link

What I see:
A sudden fall probably, by a man in 30's, along the staircase. The man had a bag.

What I feel :
After locking his apartment, someone close, dragged him and he fell down the stairs.

For the fictional story part.
Jackie, the dog, was the owner John's, favourite pet. Where ever John went, Jackie was his one and only companion.

John was in his early thirties. He was self employed in a book store. Not to say, his favorite assistant was Jackie, the dog. Both of them were affectionate to each other.

One fine morning, they had a visitor by name Sam. A stout man with a pet dog Julie. They were their new neighbours. So Sam came in to meet John. John greeted him with a smile. From them on they became thick friends.

But their was a sweet twist. At first sight, Jackie fell in love with Julie. Her twinkling eyes kept Jackie barking and finally staring at her. Jackie was wagging his tail as and when he came across Julie.

Sam was working in a nearby grocery store. While at work he usually locked the room, so that Julie stays at home. One fine morning, he was late at work. For fear of getting a late notice, hurriedly he left the home unaware of the fact, the door was unlocked.

In the meantime, John and Jackie was getting ready to leave the home. John carried a short bag and with the door key in one hand and the dog's leash in another, they came out to lock the door when suddenly a familiar sound distracted Jackie and in no time, he turned around and ran down the stairs. Simultaneously, poor John was also dragged after the dog as the leash was in his right hand.

It so happened, when Julie found the door unlocked she ran out and reached the mid- center of the road. Not sure what to do, she started barking on seeing the vehicles and also at the public.

This being the reason for Jackie to rush down the stairs. And the poor victim happened to be John.

Hope you enjoyed my short story. Thankyou for your visit.
Happy Day Ahead.

no doubt this man is in trouble for falling down the stairs, good story my friend.

Thanks mu friend

Being a dog's owner isn't a bed of roses. It's not about who let's the dog out but the other way round. I hope this ended well which one not always can tell on the spot.
