In the Blink of An Eye

I blinked and rubbed my eyes, then looked around. I wondered was I going crazy (like, my aunt who lived in caverns underground...) but no, the boy was riding on the bike. One moment he was there - and now he's gone! I know I wasn't dreaming; he was real. It took a while for me to cotton on; I can't describe the way that makes me feel: I saw a ghost! I know you won't believe my story, but I swear to God it's true. No joke! I have no reason to deceive. Once sceptic, now I've changed my point of view. written 25th February for Carolyn's Vanishing contest
