Greetings Children of the Night and welcome to The Crypt during this most darkest of weeks. All Hallows Eve will soon be upon us, the dead will once again walk the earth and the undead shall arise from their slumber in search of fresh souls to take.
So this week's Tantalizing Tuesday Tease is, for one week only, known as Terrifying Tuesday Tease instead as I take you on a dark journey in only 200 words.
Beyond the front
door
Stepping from the dense
forest I was stunned to see the house. For hours I had walked without seeing anything,
except trees, but with the rain getting worse the rickety building came as a
blessing. Clambering over the rusty chain-link fence, careful to avoid snagging
my skin on the broken links, I made my way forwards.
Placing my foot on the
bottom step I heard a loud cracking, looked down and saw that the step had began
to splinter under my weight. Hurriedly I made my way up the remaining steps
towards the door and was taken aback by how new it looked, compared to the rest
of the dilapidated building.
Reaching forward I
pushed it. Surprised to find it tacky, like it had just been painted, I
snatched my hand back and paused. An icy shiver ran down my spine but, with the
rain increasing, I pushed the door once again, stepped inside and came face to
face with the largest man I had ever seen.
Freezing I glimpsed the
body on the floor, saw he was holding a freshly severed arm and realized what
the tackiness on the red front door was - just before everything went dark.
Now your bones have been chilled by my little tale why don't you rush over to my friends via the link below and see what they have to offer you, as a way of calming your nerves, this week as well.
