Tuesday is upon us once again and once you have read my offering if you would be so kind as to click the image above you will be whisked away top where all my friends are waiting with their teases for you.
Thank you
A
nightmare reawakened
The
first time I heard the story I was no more than five years old but
had always assumed that's all it was, a fairy story invented by the
parents of the town to keep us kids from wandering into the dense
woods and becoming lost to them forever.
They
tried to convince us they were telling the truth, asking us if we'd
seen Mr. This or Mr. That lately, even though they knew we wouldn't
have though because, although the reality was more likely to have
been they had left town to find work in the city, they always told us
they had last been seen wandering into the woods, in a trance, as if
hypnotized by something just beyond the entrance.
Now,
twenty years later, I was twenty-five, a detective with the city
police force and had returned to follow up on reports three men had
gone missing, in exactly the same way our parents used to tell us
about, in the last two weeks and now I knew, for the first time in my
life, I would have to enter the very same woods which had filled my
childhood with nightmares.

Chilling in its foreboding. I wonder if we'll ever see him again Great tease, Julez :-)
Excellent, gripping work, Julez! There was so much tension, remorse, fear, and the challenge of having to deal with 20 years of dread. Great tease!
Sounds like the beginning of a great thriller!
Chilling, gripping, and something worth expanding to in the story, when you can.
This took me back to something in my childhood. Chilling teaser,love it
