This week's Picture prompt is by Jeannie Ann Numos aka i-am-JENius over on Deviant Art, and she calls this one Take Me Where Dreams Are. This is not the first picture of Jeannie's I have used, I used another on Week 172, and also Week 159.
A little bit dark, but that's normal for me, and a story written only in dialogue. It's good practise to describe the events of the story through dialogue only.
The General Guidelines can be found here.

There is also a Facebook group for Mid-Week Flash, if you fancy getting the prompt there.

‘I’m going to look for mummy.’
‘No, you mustn’t!’
‘It’s okay, no one will see me.’
‘You can’t leave me alone!’
‘Then come with me.’
‘We mustn’t.’
‘No one will know.’
‘Daddy will know.’
‘How?’
‘He always knows.’
‘He isn’t here.’
‘You don’t know that; he might be watching us.’
‘He hasn’t been here for ages.’
‘Neither has mummy.’
‘Which is why we have to find her. Come on.’
‘Daddy got cross with her.’
‘I know.’
‘She usually goes to her bedroom.’
‘I know, but look she’s not in there.’
‘Where do you think she is, then?’
‘Maybe she’s in the garden. She likes to go there when Daddy gets cross.’
‘He gets cross a lot.’
‘I know, come on let’s take the back stairs.’
‘He’s been shouting lots more lately.’
‘I know.’
‘Where do you think he has gone?’
‘I don’t know.’
‘I’m scared.’
‘Don’t be. I heard a car. I think he’s gone away.’
‘I hope so.’
‘Look the doors are open, mummy must be out there.’
‘I can’t wait to see her and hug her.’
‘Me too.’
‘She needs a hug after how angry daddy got.’
‘She does.’
‘I don’t think I’ve ever seen him that angry.’
‘I told you to shut your eyes. You did, didn’t you?’
‘Yes, but the loud bangs made me jump.’
‘They made me jump too.’
‘There’s a big hole in our bedroom door.’
‘A really big hole, but let’s go find mummy. She’ll make it better.’
‘Yes, she always makes it better. The garden looks so pretty from up here.’
‘It does. Look there’s mummy! She’s waving at us.’
‘She looks so pretty up there on that cloud, like an angel.’
‘Because she is an angel, like us.’
‘Daddy’s not here.’
‘No, Daddy’s not allowed up here; he was so cross he turned us into angels, so he has to go to the other place.’
‘Poor Daddy.’
‘Not really. It’s better that way. Mummy will be happy now.’
‘She’s smiling.’
‘She is. Mummy!’
‘We’re so happy we found you!’
‘My darlings.’
