With The Tunnel coming out in just over a week, I felt it would be appropriate to have this month’s Flasher story be about two friends who can’t find each other.
Unlike some of the other Flasher stories I’ve shared so far, this one has no source of inspiration – no unusual moment in my day that made me thing “huh, I should write this down.” I honestly have no idea where this one came from. It materialized in my brain and I wrote it down immediately. Not every story has an interesting moment of conception – sometimes, they just happen.

How much longer?
I’m in the parking lot
Where?
Here
21 right?
Yeah
Hold on
I’ll stand outside
K
K I’m at the front door
I don’t see you
Is there another door here?
No just the one
Getting out of the car
See me?
I’m waving
No
I mean, it’s kind dark
I’m right under a light
I don’t see you in the doorway
You sure it’s 21 Third ave?
Yeah
I’m right here
Where the hell are you?
I am now LITERALLY standing in front of the door
At 21 Third ave
It’s a blue door with a gold handle
Uh yeah that’s right
But I don’t see you
Oh
Wait
Thought that was you but
You still there?
Hello?
K I’m going to walk around the building just in case
No you’re right
Only one door
HELLO
Can you at least tell me what’s around you
Like what do you see?
I’m trying to find you
Can you please just fucking answer me
I’m getting scared now
Where are you?
???
