    Mystery and creepy and a Halloween special - Nicely Done

  • Mariann Carroll4 months ago

    Nicely done, definitely a creepy peep hole.

  • Much mystery and dark allure Marilyn. Extremely well written! I love the image you used… it is so unusual. Take a look at our new unofficial challenge Tales from Beyond: The Haunted Letter Challenge. I believe you’d be a super-natural for this one.

    Nicely done, Marilyn!!! I forgot there's a horror haiku challenge as well. Too many to keep up with, haha. Can't wait to try one.

    So much suspension in just a few lines. I love your image too!

  • Your cover pic is so freaking creepy! That combined with your Haiku reminded me of the black eyed children! I loved it!

    Oh, I love this. And the picture is so creepy... it's a perfect choice.

    Fantastic writing Marilyn! 🩷

  • This made me think of Wednesday....it's got that rhythm!

  • Caitlin Charlton4 months ago

    Yeah this is really really creepy. I can't get over the last line. Reading that then looking back at the photo. Killer. Best of luck on the challenge 🤗 ❤️
