This is my first attempt at the 100 word challenge for Grown Ups from Julias PlaceThe word prompt was.....but I turned it off....
The stairs creaked as I descended.
My unslippered feet feeling for the edge of each step, as I sank slowly and warily into the dark with only the faint light of the moon through a small window for company.
What had woken me from my deep dream-ridden slumber?
A sudden bang? Low murmuring voices?
The sitting room door was still closed but under the threshold came the flickering light of the TV........but i turned it off............I'm sure I had.
I took a deep breath, placed my hand around the cold door knob, gently eased the door open and froze.
Great suspense writing here. My mind is whizzing with what's waiting in the shadows...

ReplyDeleteI love your lunch table in the sun, we had ours in the conservatory, wasn't it a glorious day?
A marvelous build-up.
ReplyDeleteAnd a challenge: how to continue this story? What would not be an anticlimax? The imagination boggles...
Love it, creepiness to the extreme, very well paced with a cliffhanger end. Great! (_Judee, writetuit)
ReplyDeleteA great opener ... what or who? Curious minds want to know.
