Who is this and what have you done with Carol? You killed it with this prompt. No pun intended. I am always amazed when someone tells me they don't write dark material and then then they do so well. I know Patrick will be pleased as well. :-)

I think I will blame it on your spooky limericks LOL and everyone else's too...I think there was some kin of potion and it came off the pages and got me. Otherwise I have no explanation of how I am writing these stories. Possessed!
Smiles, Carol
Comment from Julie Helms
Look at you doing seriously creepy! And very well! For me, psychological horror is the most powerful. How do you battle your own mind if it betrays you?? Excellent entry--so glad to see it!

Thanks so much, Julie. I never totally understand what Patrick is asking of us when he posts a contest, but I hope this one works. I must admit that either I am finally going off the deep end or for some other crazy reason, writing this stuff is getting a little easier. LOL Appreciate the comments.
Smiles, Carol

You are not going off the deep end...just expanding your repertoire which opens up a whole new world of possibilities!

Thanks...so I have to keep remembering to build the end of the dock longer each time I write like this. LOL

Oh thanks, Barbara. I wasn't sure what they were really looking for and I don't do creepy to well, but if I get your okay...I am thrilled. The teacher said I passed.
Love ya,
Smiles, Carol

I don't do creepy either. LOL
Comment from pome lover
well, my goodness, that was something else!
I'm not sure who Jackson is, or whose hands were around her throat but she is one tormented soul.
And why was dear old Dad shouting at her?
I guess she loves Jackson, and killed herself to be with him???
This is definitely a good entry for the Little Shop of Horrors contest! (maybe psychiatric horrors? :) You have quite an imagination! :)
Best of luck.

Thanks, Katherine....It takes me forever to compose a short story like this...guess the creepers aren't really part of my being, but I said I'd give it a shot so there it is. Appreciate the review and your comments. Have a great day!
Smiles, Carol

I suppose there are many thoughts like this, loneliness is such a terrible thing that can gnaw away at one. But I wonder about the right to curtail our lives before it's appointed, I've never been sure, apart from feeling helpless and hopeless, beautifully written Carol, blessings Roy

I don't believe we have the right to make a decision that belongs to the Lord, but someitmes grief defies what we believe and we make sad decisions. This was for a contest showing the many sides of a person.... I don't know if it works or not. Thanks, Roy.
