Bill and Betty enjoyed walks along the river. Usually, it was beautiful and unremarkable, that is, until the chair. It was standing on the water as if waiting for someone.
“That’s impossible, Bill.”
“Probably not. Bet there’s a sandbar and someone in a boat put it there as a prank.”
Just then, they heard a rustling in the brushes behind them. A mediterranean looking gentleman appeared and said, “Excuse me.”
The pair moved aside and the stranger walked to the chair, sat, and waved.
“A trick.” Bill stepped into the water. Expecting to walk, his leg sank into freezing water.
Written as a response to Rochelle Wisoff-Fields 100 word photo challenge. The idea is to write a piece of flash fiction no more than 100 words long based on the photo above. My story’s word count is exactly 100.

I write a lot about improbable and impossible events. This can be just one more, in this case, about miracles.

That’s one way of looking at it. Try reading the story as if Rod Serling were reciting it.
