Non-inclusion ~ Reena Saxena #writephoto

Posted on January 28, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Two faces from history chatted about happenings in the far-off castle.

“I wonder what happened to those characters who lived there? They destroyed life on the plains, and then disappeared into their hiding place.”

“I wonder if they were responsible for carving us in stone. They missed out on a grand opportunity.”

The Trap ~ Neel Anil Panicker #writephoto

Posted on January 28, 2020 by Sue Vincent

“He’s here, must be here, I saw him barely half an hour ago,” yelled fifteen year old Shakeel as he pointed his hands towards the expanse of green fields.

“What do you say, is he speaking the truth”?, asked BSF Inspector Arvind Sharma turning towards his deputy.

“Sir, these people are very poor. This boy…I know his father. He does odd jobs…even work the fields of the orchard growers. Last year, there was heavy firing from across the border. The destroyed a few huts including this boy’s. His mother too died, blown up by a hand grenade. They…”

A change in the weather

Posted on January 28, 2020 by Sue Vincent

dawn sky (3)

There was something wrong… something missing from the world as I walked the few paces to the car. I couldn’t put my finger on it at all, but I was very clear on the essential fact. There was something … different.

It wasn’t until I turned the key in the ignition that I realised what it was; it had stopped raining. And the sky was clear.

The rain has been almost constant for weeks now. The area in which I live has little in the way of rivers. Usually, I miss them and would wish for more. I know of no natural waterfalls around here at all and the streams are no more than tiny, silver threads. At present, though, they are roiling, muddy streaks, spilling over into the flood plains and sodden fields.

So the clear skies and cessation of rain were a welcome change, even if it had taken me a few moments to pinpoint what was different this morning.

What surprised me the most was not the transient burst of sunshine, but my own acceptance that the bad weather was the norm. It may be England, but even here winter is not normally uniformly grey and wet. We have glorious frosty mornings with pristine skies and soft dawns too. We had even had one a few days ago. But… the pallid shades of gloom have settled in to become ‘normal’ somehow.

Entrance ~ Dorinda Duclos #writephoto

Posted on January 28, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Darkness in the distance plays, my thoughts, they start to mingle; is it calm or trepidation that makes my senses tingle? Chiseled rocks, I climb upon, careful to plant my feet; so to peer beyond the opening, then, wondering what I’ll meet.

Is it just an empty cave? Or does something live within? Do I dare to challenge this? I hesitate, as I begin. Quietly making my way inside, sneaking about, like a tiny mouse, I realize I am not alone, it is me inside this house.

Jacquie Biggar Reviews- Eventide by @MaeClair1 #Suspense

Posted on January 27, 2020 by Sue Vincent

Reblogged from Jacquie Biggar:

The darkness is coming . . .

The old house near Hode’s Hill, Pennsylvania is a place for Madison Hewitt to start over—to put the trauma of her husband’s murder, and her subsequent breakdown, behind her. She isn’t bothered by a burial plot on the property, or the mysterious, sealed cistern in the basement. Not at first. Even the presence of cold spots and strange odors could be fabrications of her still troubled mind. But how to explain her slashed tires, or the ominous messages that grow ever more threatening?

Convinced the answer lies in the past, Madison delves into the history of the home’s original owners, only to discover the origin of a powerful evil. An entity that may be connected to a series of gruesome attacks that have left police baffled. No matter where she turns—past or present—terror lingers just a step away, spurred on by a twisted obsession that can only be satisfied through death…

Shsh…It’s our secret ~ Vandana Bhasin #writephoto

Posted on January 27, 2020 by Sue Vincent

It’s been ten days; I think.

I am now longing for the comfort of my room, for the scrumptious meal cooked by mom, and more than anything, for her warm hugs.

I wonder if she’s feeling the same. Would mom be missing me too?

I’ve never stayed away from her for such a long duration. Jody’s house is the only place apart from my home where I have spent a night. Mom doesn’t let me out of her sight, ever.
