Mystery by Amber Averay Check out Amber’s Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheEnchantmentSeries It was exceptionally dark on this moonless night. The derelict old mansion lurked somewhere nearby, cloaked in shadow and gripped by an eerie silence. It was creepy, and chilling, and spooky – and Samantha’s blood thrilled at the ghostly vibes the whole experience gave. This neverContinue reading “Spook-tober: Day 4”

Spook-tober: Day 4
Mystery There was a piece of folklore I’d heard whispered about for years, but never wanted to believe. Some said it was fountain of youth, some said it was a labyrinth, and still others said it was a trap. I laughed it off, because it was absurd. Still, a small kernal of curiosity lingered inContinue reading “Spook-tober: Day 4”

Clairvoyant by Amber Averay Check out Amber’s Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheEnchantmentSeries Are you ready?

The others are waiting by the gate, and if you’re frightened you can hold my jacket. I need myContinue reading “Spook-tober: Day 3”
Spook-tober: Day 3
Clairvoyant He didn’t believe in spirituality or thought it had any impact of his life. Still, this particular shop intrigued him. The air hung heavy near the door and the bits and bobs in the shop window sparkled and danced in the street light on the corner. He was in a strange city with timeContinue reading “Spook-tober: Day 3”
Spook-tober: Day 2
Thin Veil by Amber Averay Amber’s Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheEnchantmentSeries I was scared of my child. I can admit that now; now the shadows gather to frame my vision and my age-spotted skin lies paper-thin over old bones. Yes, I can admit to that now… My late husband, taken far too soon, did not even know weContinue reading “Spook-tober: Day 2”
Spook-tober: Day 2
Thin Veil I walked the line between life and death. An ill-fated gamble from my youth left me not quite on the mortal plane and not able to move beyond. I have seen hundreds if not thousands pass from one life to the next before me, but I was never free to join them inContinue reading “Spook-tober: Day 2”
Spook-tober: Day 1
By Amber Averay Check Amber out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheEnchantmentSeries Magic I sat in the darkened cupboard, ears straining for any sounds beyond the doors. Nobody had noticed I was missing, and that suited me perfectly: might as well utilise an invisibility I’d long been marked with. It used to annoy me, when I was youngContinue reading “Spook-tober: Day 1”
Spook-tober: Day 1
Magic It was an unseasonably warm autumn night–the musk of fall felt out of place without the chill. She’d made plans months ago to go walking in the woods up in the hills for the autumn solstice. At the time it felt like such a romantic notion, but now it was sticky, humid and moreContinue reading “Spook-tober: Day 1”

Until Next Year
“I’ll be gone soon,” a soft voice whispered into his ear. “It goes faster every year.” He closed his eyes, desperately willing time to slow down. The last sound in the world he wanted to hear right now was the striking of the clock. It was inevitable, he knew, but that didn’t make it easierContinue reading “Until Next Year”
