Breath hot on the skin.
Cold room bare and empty.
Breathing in stillness.

Creepy good vibes, Michelle. I love it!
this is creepy Michelle, well done!
Oh, creepy good, Michelle
I got goosebumps reading this and it's only a few short lines. Very well written haiku!
Ooooohhhh creepy. Is it a ghost? Is the room itself breathing? It could be anything—and that’s what’s most disturbing. Nice job.
Ooooh this one gave me shivers—short but haunting! Love how you made silence feel loud here.
You created a frightening scene in such a short time. I was ready to keep reading, haha.
Eerie and scary, Michelle. And now, I wouldn't dare.
The game you played in this one, was played very well. My room is currently cold. And having something breathe hot breath on my skin sounds unsettling. You got me there. Best of luck in the challenge 🤗❤️
