Burning

entry for under 300 word daily flash fiction contest 3/23

She felt movement and she felt sick. She threw open the door of the car, stepped out and KNEW that she was out of place.
"Witch, witch",they all cried. "Burn the witch!" She started to run, trying to escape the power hungry mob. They chased her through the village that was full of homes from an era that she did not recognize. Down country roads and through heavily laden forests. She could find no rest.

She ran through the forest, trees biting at her skirts. Up and down winding roads she continued to run with the torch bearing mob not far behind. She knows that she must escape or they will catch her and burn her alive. This has always been her worst fear. Finally she comes across a hidden door in an ivy covered wall. Opening the door she finds herself back in the modern day, where the only angry mobs she has to deal with are the ones that are on TV!
