One Night In a Haunted Manor

Pulling up in front of the address on the girl’s information, I wondered again why I could not decline her invitation. I saw the girl pull to the curb and exit her car. Rushing to catch her, I was somehow sight marred and lost her, but I saw the manor’s doors were open. Coming in with, ‘Hello?’, my voice rose as doors closed. Looking around at decay, I saw a note on a stand. It read, ‘Drink this as I did, then find the Baby Grand.’ The girl must have inked this, so I sipped my drink down. Suddenly, the manor filled with haunting piano sounds. Heading towards the source, I stumbled off my course, and heard shrill laughter when I tripped on my purse, But, NOT HER laughter, so I asked, my teeth a’chatter, “Who .. whaa – where ..” A piano tone groaned, “I am the girl as you are me, and we three were once the sum of one, until evil done allowed only one-third of us to view sun.” The tone went on, “you now sleep deep and this night, dark sights will guide your truth to abandon your aloof and you will recall how you always stall your return, leaving me overlong to burn for our body I so yearn." Now nude, licking missed lips. her woman voice continued, "Wee girl of third is too torture numbed to escape like us. Now, do enjoy your body-less time as Baby Grand jacked, because it may be centuries before I bring our body back." ... CayCay Jennings January 20, 2019

I appreciate that, Sweetie. I though Rod Sterling would have been pleased with me. I've accepted things, BUT don't understand why her maximum line count wasn't a consideration. I'm sure everyone is doing the best they can! Love ya ... CayCay

Hi Cay Cay, love the content of the story. Your words painted such vivid images. Isn't it funny the way people say, "Don't go in there." I know she has to go in but I say it just the same. This is an excellent write and I am hoping it does well for you in the contest. Reads like a winner to me. All the best for your piece making the winner's list. have a wonderful Sunday. Hugs....Mike.

WoW! CayCay, This is beyond spooky. I said to myself(more like shouted) " don't go in there! The hairs on the back of neck stood up as I was reading this well written write. To be honest it was so good, I have read this again! This is a winner in my book. I wish you the best of luck in the contest:-) Alexis
