Oh my! This had a very creepy feel to it. A haunting environment to titillate one's mind.
Hopefully we are all opening doors to a better place.
Bless you!

Thanks, Doug! This was totally out of my genre but my friends started the new club and I was asked to write..Horror - the blood and guts kind - isn't me so I went another way with the horror of depression in the mind. I hope it came across that way. And I would never have guessed it was worthy of a six...Awesome! Thank you so much.
Smiles, Carol

Carol,
The hopelessness you at first create in your story is so well done. Your story can be a metaphor for dying and emerging into the Light but, more likely, an allegory of someone fighting the throes of depression.
I hope I was right with either of these.
Wonderful writing, Carol.
Best wishes,
Blessings,
Cindy

Yes, ma'am you are...and I am thrilled because this is not my norme genre and I was so afraid no one would understand my meaning...because they would be looking for horror - blood and guts. My horror was in the mind. Thank you so much.

I like the thought of almost a dreamlike consciousness, where I was living a nightmare, but like a source of hope was there to fulfil a happy ending to what I was going through, like a tunnel lined with horrors, delivering to that distant light, beautifully written Carol, blessings Roy

Exactlu...I was so afraid that no one would get it. The club said horror but I didn't want blood and guts horror. I went for horror in the mind but finding a ray of light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you, Roy.

This is so very well written it holds the attention of the reader very well. Your sentence structuring your paragraph and your punctuation all are very good and it makes for a very smooth. Read when it's read aloud. Thank you so much for such a nice story. Patricia.

Thank you, Patricia! This is most definitely out of my normal genre but I was asked to try and I hope I did a decent job. I appreciate your time and your comments.
Smiles, Carol

Thanks, Barbara... I'm not very good at this stuff, but when I thought about depression and trying to undertand one's mind and dark thoughts, this is what I got.

What in the world!!! Where did that come from? Don't you tell me you don't like dark stories. WOW.
...their twisted forms not of wood but of the intricate, tangled nerves in my mind.... I loved this!
What an unexpected take on that picture. Completely unique and unnerving. Great job, Carol! I am so excited for this club! We are seeing all kinds of surprises come out of it so far.

It came from a thought long long ago when I wrote about my own moments of depression and how I struggled to find what was going on in the corridors of my mind. To me...not much else can be darker. I wasn't sure that it fit in what you and Patrick were looking for, but I gave it a shot.
I appreciate your ocmments. The relief is overwhelming. LOL
