"To Have and To Hold Until Death" is surely a suspensible beginning chapter of a new book. The descriptions of Christie's effort to survive show her as a great character, I certainly hope she manages to live. Good luck with this one.

Thanks Marie! I really appreciate your vote of confidence. I was just wanting to come up with some kind of super gripping engaging plot and test the waters. I sure hope you are doing wonderful in Alaska.

What an excellent chapter, written in the first person, it plumbs the depths of one's own psyche and the thoughts that pervade the slightly paranoiac mind ofbthe victim, but I can still see a hope for a second chapter. Beautifully written, some useful biblical quotes, well done, blessings Roy

Most welcome
Comment from Lisasview
This is such a chilling tale...I still have goosebumps...
The constant action which pushes the reader to your next line made me hold my breath...
So scary...
BUT, I am not crazy about the quick ending... Of course all readers want her to live, so this is rather tragic... But, if she must die then there needs to be more to it...
Of course this is your story.... but I know what this type of fear is...and one usually does not give up...

This is a great first chapter, my friend, but I'm not sure you have 2,000 words. Just telling you because Sally warned me about it. Hopefully you can add some more in before the deadline.
It's really well written and realistic. It had me spellbound.
Take care,
Rhonda

This is an intense chapter for the beginning of a book. You are a good writer who know how to create a sense of fear and dread. I'm sure this book will appeal to all who like action thrillers. I've known women who fell for men in prison and wanted to rescue them. It usually doesn't turn out well.

Wow! Reminds me of the old TV programs of the New Detective series. Only you put a little more ger in the ghoul. Good mystery. Leaves me wondering if the guy has done away with her parents.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
This is a real horror story which engages the reader from the start with that ominous - sounding first paragraph. Your story is brought vividly to life with excellent descriptive detail about background to this evil husband intent on finding his wife for whatever purpose he has in mind. Her panic and fear are palpable and by the end of this first chapter she now finds herself incarcerated and completely at her husband's disposal. Great cliff-hanger of an ending. Faultless, as ever, prose and momentum. Thanks for sharing an good luck! Debbie

Excellent evocation of the scene. We are with you in that closet. Some of your description is very good indeed. Grandfathered. String words like pearls. No apostrophe needed for 'tattoos' tho.
