Let's Don't Do This
"I just can't do this anymore..." "Do what?" What can't you do? Put gas in your own car? I swear to God you make me take care of everything, don't you? You know I'm on my way to work right now but that never stops you from bothering me, does it?"

spooky <3
Oh, it’s definitely a ghost! Eerie.
Love how you captured that eerie, sensory moment! The shift from 'felt more than seen' to that final touch creates such vivid tension. Really atmospheric!
Fabulously-fierce! Very well-done Raymond!
Throat? Oh my gosh. I want to run out of my room. That's a super sensitive part of the body. Hell no! This was too spooky 🤗❤️🖤
Instinctively covered my neck whilst reading.
Mmm very creepy
Oh my.... This was actually scary! Like...'I'm glad I didn't read it in the dark' scary. Brilliant!
Eerie! I'll be thinking of this when I wake in the middle of the night
That's so creeepppyyyy! Loved it!
Rarely do I feel a haunting sense from a haiku but Ray you have accomplished this. A seasoned writer you are.
