Carol,
A great Halloween story!
I like the ending.. creepy.
The only thing I would change is Layla's reflection (appeared ) in the mirror. It makes it sound more imminent.
Best wishes,
Carol,
Blessings,
Cubdy

Comment from Liz O'Neill
It's interesting observe in many venues gay people relate to Spirits. I don't know if it's for drama i feel really is important to approach them that way.
A haunting creepy song but i like how where I Used to work it was an 1800s mental Hospital there were many many spirits there you know. One of the security guys took me around to all the spots that were haunted oh my gosh I can feel them all over my body is like I could hear them screaming. It was exciting.

I would feel a nudge on my elbow and say is there someone there and I could hear yes. I said do you want to go toward the light. After they say they do then I send them toward the light. That's it. not very non-dramatic.

OHHHH! Good job on adding the creep factor to your flash shorties. Quite scary and I loved the ending. Keep them coming. You'll have a book in no time. :-)

Thanks, Marilyn. I saw the creepy picture and tried to figure how I could work something spooky into the flash. I'm not too good as it but I think it will pass.
Smiles, Carol

Comment from Jacob1395
I loved how you managed to build the tension in a few short lines, Carol and I loved that last line. You made me feel as though I was there entering the house with them. I don't think it's something I would've done. An excellent piece, I enjoyed reading it.

Comment from davisr (Rhonda)
Super creepy, Carol!! I definitely didn't see the ending coming. So, is Layla a ghost? Or is she a malicious person who led her friend to destruction??
Great flash fiction, and great Halloween story.
Hugs,
Rhonda

I think whatever was there grabbed Layla from outside ...Leaving Abby to explain. That's what happens when you crash someone's party...esp[ecially at Halloween. LOL

Ahhhh, I see. True, one should never crash parties, lol, especially of the spooky sort.
Comment from Cecilia A Heiskary
Hi,
I love this poem. It's spooky and just in time for Halloween. My grandfather's house was haunted, so I understand things that go bump in the night. You did an awesome job, and one day I aspire to be as talented as you are.

Comment from Michael Ludwinder
What an eerie atmosphere! I love how you created tension with just a few words. It feels like a classic ghost story unfolding! Layla's reflection in the mirror was chilling. You've set up such a great sense of suspense in just a few lines.
