Nice twist at the end. No footprints since he is not outside. How clever. Wish I could think of things like that. But then, I'm the happy endings gal. :)

Dang Dean, this might be the scariest tale yet. One because it is so realistic and two I am reading it at night. Lol
Great job...

The author notes are scream.
I felt the tenor in this one and sense of not being able to breathe I have that daily without reflections. So the tale was kinda real to me. Now I am sure it's a good thing I don't look into mirrors ( my mr mirror poem)
I keep mt doors locked and curtains closed always.
But after reading this I ask will that be enough?............

Wonderful scary story you have written, poor Jeannie, she messed up when she thought she was watching outdoors, which was bad enough! I love the way you work around the subject, terrifically enjoyable reading.

Wool, poor Jeannie, I wonder what is up for her, perhaps a rope, perhaps just hanging by her thumbs, or perhaps it'd not really the bloke inside, he was going to be the one to save her, just speculating Dean, well done, back to the drawing boards, blessings,, my friend, Roy.

Hey Dean,

Now, this really was a killer. I wish that my own material was half as self-reflective as this, though if it were, then all the skeletons in my closet would be let loose, as with Bruce Campbell in "Army of Darkness" & that book, "The Necronomicon".

As for the book, we're all having one 'yell' of a time with it.

Blessings,
Shane

Thanks, Shane. I'm really pleased to know that you enjoyed this story. Your very generous six star rating and time spent reviewing are greatly appreciated.
I happen to enjoy your writing myself. No one writes quite the way you do, or conveys a scene in the unique ways you present them. You have a very uniquely distinctive style, and it's a style I very much enjoy.
Thanks again for reading. ~Dean

Hi, Dean...

_ The man of her screams, indeed.
_ Who knows, maybe she's just acting scared---and she's really into him. Hmmmmm????
_ The peeps who scream together can love together.
_ Super write as always, my friend.

Cheers & Blessings
Keep Smilin'... Jax (*:*)

OH, oh, oh coming from inside the house.
this one got me and instantly I saw it as a reflection in the glass.
I could picture her fear.
You did a great job with this one

Thanks, Barb. I have to admit, it gave myself a bit of the creeps in writing this one. I looked over my shoulder a time or two. It's pretty bad when you write something and scare yourself. Or maybe that's a good thing, I suppose it all depends upon your perspective, lol.
Thanks for the sixer, and the outstanding review. ~Dean :)

I thought I saw you outside while I was screaming,
but really I must have been dreaming.
Why can't I breathe, oh your hand's around my neck.
I just cleaned the floor, now there's going to be flecks
of blood all over my pretty, clean house.
You could have waited until it was dirty, you louse.


I love it dean, she will not go peacefully into the night with you around....

Oh what a wonderful twist. You make the man seem like some sort of apparition when he appears to glide across the snow without leaving footprints. How can anyone defend against that? And then we find he is human and right there, and it is too late. Ooooooooooo....
