* A True Story *

- Who Spoke On The Other Side -


    I opened the bedroom door
    a voice from inside says
    "wait...not yet"

    Gave me goosebumps and chills
    Without moving for three seconds ... 1-2-3
    the room was empty

    A meeting with the spirit world
    it is impossible to say
    - incapable of solution

What a fascinating and mysterious piece! The "1-2-3" sequence, which brilliantly inserts the reader into that still, gasping moment, and the three-line stanzas do a great job of building tension.

- It doesn't happen to me often, Joe ... but I was about 6 years old the first time I experienced something like that... I was terrified... and I'll never forget it - hugs

Goshh yes! A true story! Those encounters with the spirit world.. they are real, even though I am to become an engineer and researcher but I still believe in spirituality beyond anything! Having witnessed it myself, i resonate with this so much.. there's more to this world, perhaps even deeper and clearer than the eyes can see. Being an empath myself also energies mean so much! Thank you for sharing your experience with this incredibly powerful and atmospheric write, dear Anne-Lise..💜 💙 🫂 💫 💫 Sending you mermaid stars and fairylight! 🧚 🧚 💜 ⭐v💎

Truly vexing and mysterious, Anne-Lise. That's a twilight zone script. Did it happen just that one time?

I can't answer your question, A.A. ... but, I heard it loud and clear - no doubt about it :) - hugs

This is a wonderfully eerie and captivating piece! The three-line stanzas perfectly pace the suspense, especially the brilliant inclusion of the "1-2-3" countdown, which grounds the reader right in that frozen, breathless moment. The narrative is deeply atmospheric—capturing the instantaneous physical reaction of goosebumps and chills before landing on such an effective, open-ended conclusion about the unknown. A spine-tingling and beautifully constructed read!

- Many thanks for an enriching description in your comment, Alison ... an event told in few words, I rarely write from reality ... this happened about a year ago - I live in a new house (no one else has lived here ... and I was alone at home) - There is a lot going on between heaven and earth :) - hugs
