 Orectic
The door creaked as Anna opened it and entered the room. A fire glowed in the hearth, the only source of light, but barely illuminating. Her hearth thundered against her ribs. Maybe she had the wrong address. She wanted the room next door, the one with happy voices and laugher on the other side. “Close the door.” Anna squeaked like a mouse, whirling around but there was no one behind her.
“Close the door,” the voice repeated. “And you will have your heart’s desire.” Swallowing her fear, Anna grasped the handle, ready to make the orectic bargain.

The deal seems too sweet to be straight. Close the door, and maybe your heart's desire will have you. 9/6/2013 10:48:22 am
You are hopeful, eh? I'm not. Even though I didn't write what happens after, I knew it wouldn't be good. 9/6/2013 05:30:17 am
Sounds like a dangerous bargain to me! 9/8/2013 10:48:45 am
I love seeing these words pop up again. Although it's distressing how few I can actually remember the definition for - they're not really 'sticky' words. :-) Very creepy tale! Leave a Reply. |
