Marbles

Lucas by day - Duncan by night stares at the floor. He remembers a time when there was something there.

Was it a fly? He thinks to himself. Perhaps it was a flea? he tries to remember as he stares at nothing and the time slowly passes by.

Flea? Fly?

Fly? Flea?

Or was it a frog? He smiles to himself and thinks, dont be so stupid, of course it wasn't a frog. Frogs live in ponds where there is water and weeds, not in living rooms, not in the dry.

And with that happy thought he shot off down the back stairs to stand and stare at the wooden gate instead.
