The umbrella was following her, Ella was sure of it. On a grey rainy day in London, one could be forgiven for thinking it would be hard to tell one umbrella from another, but most umbrellas on Oxford Street, that morning, were carried by actual living people.

Bit short this, and not complete so not named. I wrote it last night after midnight but haven't had time to edit or add to it. But I did write something!

Doesn't matter. I like everything that you write:)
Thank you! :)
