Strange Visitor: A very short story

"Guinness is Good for You"  Irish la...Image via Wikipedia

This is a short story that I have had in my head for a while. I thought I might just write it down:



No sooner had I walked into the bar than she parked herself on the stool next to me and observed me with those huge, green eyes. She tilted her head from side to side and looked at me, but every time I caught her eye she looked down at the floor as though she had never noticed me.


I had my usual three pints of Guinness and decided to go home. After all, there was no one there to talk to and the barman seemed to be preoccupied with watching snooker on the television.


So, I left.


I walked along the street with my hands in my pockets but I had a strange feeling. ...........rest of story removed to be rewritten into something more substantial.
