That Rainy Night

She was walking when it started raining heavily.

The street was deserted.

A green-coloured car stopped.

Throwing caution to the wind, she did not think twice before entering the car.

 

Photo Prompt- David Stewart

The car smelled like a forest.

They drove in silence on a dark road.

The driver stopped the car in a desolate place.

There was a crooked tree.

Photo Prompt- Lisa Fox

"Will you cooperate with me here?"

His voice was urgent.

 

Breathing heavily, he turned towards her.

"Turn to the back seat."

 

When she turned, she found many saplings and seeds neatly placed in pots and boxes.

"Let's plant these in this park."
