Friday Fictioneers is a weekly challenge set by Rochelle Wisoff Fields where an image is posted and we write a 100 word piece of fiction to go with it. Today I collaborated with Steven from In Amongst the Ebb and Flow!
Allure of the Unknown
I’m running, stumbling through the forest. Bits of tree bark snapping beneath my feet. The autumn wind chilling me to the bone. I’m lost.
There’s a gap in the trees. As the sun caresses my skin I see a building looming large over me. An eerie mixture of a castle from a horror film and the dream like manor from a fairy tale, enticing me in.
Panting for breath, I tentatively strike the front door with my knuckles.
“Hello? Is there anyone there?”
My heart beats faster as a shadow builds against the frosted glass. I am not alone.

Fast paced! Left me wanting to know so much more!
Nicely done! You should consider a sequel!
Thank you!
I agree! Sequel!!

Ahh thank you! I think we might leave the sequel up to your imagination though 🙂
That’s always fun!
Superb, quite superb!
But no sequel, it is complete and perfect in itself.
Thanks 🙂 It keeps you guessing 😉
Well I agree with each of those who comment. It does stand alone and it can also be a continuing saga. Nicely constructed, encouraging the reader to read on … for more!
Thanks Penny 🙂
I like the story and the the fact that it’s not completed! Leaves something up to our imagination.

Thank you Janet 🙂
Ooops; I feel a very unhealthy incident coming on…
Run, quick… 🙂
Loved it! I really liked how you built the setting based on the building; really set the scene.
Oh very nice build up. I wonder who (or what) is going to answer the door! 😀
Fast paced.. Open ended,, nicely done 🙂
I wonder why I got a creepy, spooky feeling. Run girl…Ruuuuunnnnnnn!
Intriguing start. Well done.
Nice!
thank you 🙂
OK, for this post I can say it: Just. Get. OUT!
Atmospheric and fast-paced. A great little piece of writing 🙂
No sequel needed… I can hear the eerie music playing… doom is coming
Hmm, nice setup, with both alluring and creepy elements. So, what happens next?
Dear Beckles,
Good build of tension, vivid descriptions and a little good old fashion terror at the end. Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
