Wow, you lulled me into thinking it was just the cat, and everything was fine. Then it wasn't This ending scared me! I guess that's why I don't write horror or mystery stories. I'd never sleep. LOL. Blessings. Carol

Comment from Teri7
This had me on pins and needles as I read this. You used great descriptive words, and I was so happy Misty the cat was the prowler, until she wasn't. Very good writing my friend. love and blessings, Teri

Comment from Madeleine Mardis
Greatness abounds in this piece! You have got a truly original voice and wow, an amazing talent! It was chilling, I thought about what if I was suddenly alone, from here on out, without my husband. You instantly drew me in!! Maddy

Comment from Tim Margetts
You stole MISTY!
Carol, what shall I do now?
This is great, and I can't think of another horror I have seen you write.
Am I corrupting you?
Love the story my friend.

I didn't steal Misty! He was prowling around this new house and decided to hang out for a bit....but he'll be right back because I think the house will be empty again. LOL Glad you like the story.... Don't expect too many of these/ LOL

Well if he was prowling about then, OK as my Misty is very much a lady LOL
Comment from Brenda Strauser
Hi Carol, this was surely scary. Being alone, sometimes you hear noises and it's nothing. Great ending. Written well. Love, Brenda.

I know! My blind cocker started barking in the middle of the night...woke me up with a start. Had to turn all the lights on in the house to see...NOTHING but a scared me. I'm alone in the country and usually I prefer it, but once in a while.....

Comment from prettybluebirds
Geez, Carol. I felt great after reading your Magic Forest story, and then you put something terrible like this here. I'm just kidding. It's an excellent story for the contest. Good luck.

I might be getting a little better at it as long as it can be short and sweet or have ghosts in it. LOL Thanks so much for the review and kindness.

Comment from lyenochka
You love to play with your reader! Lol. You keep leading us on as to the possible danger that the narrator is in and when we are sue she's needlessly fearful, you give us something to fear! Great job and best wishes in the contest!
By the way, your repetition of this phrase "unaware she'd held her breath" makes me stop and take deep breaths!

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
That is just like you!! Scare the living daylights out of me when I've started to think all was well. Duh! I will remember next time. I would hate to be alone, I know I will be one day, or not, but it isn't nice is it? This was a chilling story after reading your children's story. I don't know how you do it, but well done, you did good again!! Love you lots. Sandra xx

This one came from a "dream" I had the other night...First, in a long time, I woke, actually afraid. Then my blind cocker barks which added to it...turned all the lights on but of course nothing was there... Must have been one of the ghosts.
Smiles, Carol
