Gypsy, a wonderful write. Is this fact or fiction?
I spent two and a half months in a hospital with a broken back and arm , and had psychological counseling and physical therapy after my suicide attempt.
I was lifelighted there, but just remember the paramedics closing the helicopter door. I woke up a month later. (Painkillers kept me sleeping most of the time).
I had a good experience in the psych unit; people stuck together. It wasn't bad.If there was any out of their mind crazies, it was me. I cried constantly for my dog I lost in the "accident."
Your story is certainly a sad one. The protagonist must've gone through her own private hell.your photos, though scary, complement your poem well.
Great club entry, Gypsy.
Best wishes,
Cindy
Stay well.

Hello, Cindy,
My story is inspired by true events. I suffer from bipolar disorder with long depression episodes and far between mania. The fiction is the monster but I did have a roommate that came in at the middle of the night and sat on my bed. I woke up to her staring at me. She said something crazy and went back to her bed. It was scary. But she was not a bad person, she just had a hard life and made some bad decisions. Before she left she gave me a bracelet she made.
I am sorry you had to deal with depression, an accident, and your dog's death. I understand how you feel.
Thank you for sharing your story.
Gypsy (MariVal)

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
What a horror story in stunning detail. There was relief when she woke up from what appeared to be a gruesome nightmare. But then your artful twist with the arm print and footprints so prophetically added. Well done Gypsy. Take care Debbie

That's a scary nightmare. But it was almost a good thing to have had that nightmare because it cause Mrs. Brenner to value her life but then, that handprint will also be a reminder to fight for life! Best wishes in the contest!

This horror story was inspired by true events, I just changed names and the demon. A woman did come in the middle of the night and when I fell asleep, she sat on my bed, staring at me. I felt her. She told me something that didn't make any sense and was creepy and disturbing. She wasn't so bad during the day. lol she turned out to be demented but kind. She gave me a bracelet she maid before she left. I love horror stories and movies, it was easy to come up with that ending. But I am a little proud, I think my writing is getting better.
Thank you very much, Big Sister. I wish you a wonderful week.
How was the party?
love,
MariVal

I figured there were really something autobiographical in the writing! Great job!! We had a good time but we are not big party-goers so it's exhausting! Hugs!

An excellent response to the club's prompt. You have described the intensity of depression and loneliness very well, and the feeling of abandonment. I can almost see her terrible visitor and smell her. Your writing is vivid, and well done.

Comment from Bill Schott
This is a great chilling tale that pulls all the worth of a good nightmare and sits it down beside us in the dark, silent night. The visual of the black-eyed woman would make me fill my pants. Dean would love it.

Oh my goodness!! This was some scary stuff. I loved how you ended it. Was it real or was it a demon trying to summon you to follow? This was kick ass creepy. Perfect to start Halloween season. Gretchen

Comment from Mike Stevens
Another fine tale, Gypsy....and talk about the ultimate nightmare. I remember when I first woke up from my coma they gave me something to help keep me calm and help me sleep, but the neglected to tell me, and I had nightmares constantly. This reminded me of that horrible time in my life.

I didn't know you were in a coma but I know you were in an accident, sorry I have a terrible memory.
I had horrible nightmares as a child. Now I have weird dreams.
I'm happy you came out of the coma.
Thank you very much, Mike

Thank you, Gypsy, and if the doctor who told my ex that even if I woke up I probably be no more than a breathing rutabaga could see me now!
