Challenge
Challenge of the Week XCVI
Goosebumps. It's that time of year. The genre is horror. Write something scary, something spooky, something that sends chills down the spine, causes goosebumps to prickle your reader's skin. There's a catch. This week you will write the first part of a two-part piece. Next week you'll finish the story you started. This week we're looking for a great start to the story. Next week we'll be looking for a strong finish. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.
careful in the attic
gloomy night
stuffy room
curious teens
day of doom
silent time
passing by
till we heard
a soft cry
taped up box
by the wall
opened box
teens enthralled
porcelain skin
piercing eyes
tangled hair
crooked thighs
you turned away
unamused
moving on
I kept staring at her
bewitched and distraught
and that is when
I saw with my eyes
that broken girl
smiling and blinking
and that is when I foresaw our demise
that broken girl
was twitching and shifting
why don’t you believe me
why do you not care
you just laugh it off
knowing I'm scared
don't tell me I’m wrong
don't tell me I’m crazy
I know what I saw
and I saw what I said
that doll is alive
no it's not in my head
that doll is alive, dammit
*gasp*
WATCH OUT FOR YOUR HEAD!!
