Smouldering by Amber Averay Check out Amber’s Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/TheEnchantmentSeries He awoke to blinding darkness. It was disconcerting – bloody terrifying – but he snorted deep breaths through his swollen nose and exhaled through a mouth tasting of blood. Stay calm, he advised himself, panic flooding him. Stay calm! But his pulsing head felt it was about toContinue reading “Spook-tober: Day 15”

Spook-tober: Day 15
Smoldering I was walking home late one evening and met him in a dark alley. I knew he had ill intentions the moment I saw him. He preyed upon helpless women who were unlucky enough to be down this particular street alone. Fortunately for me, I wasn’t a helpless woman, so I was in noContinue reading “Spook-tober: Day 15”
Spook-tober: Day 14
Autumn Nights by Elizabeth Averay It was beautiful: a full moon for the Autumn Dance. The little town really knew how to put on a show: elegantly dressed women in their ballgowns and handsome men in their tuxedos with top hats and canes. A string quartet played classical music for the couples dancing beneath theContinue reading “Spook-tober: Day 14”

Autumn Nights by Amber Averay Check out Amber’s Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/TheEnchantmentSeries Abby sat on the verandah, wrapped in a blanket and lost in a thick book. Dusk had settled in, and a light rain was falling, pattering against the tin roof with that soothing sound she’d always loved.

At the time she didn’t understand how much fun it could all be, but she did now. Anything and everything to do withContinue reading “Spook-tober: Day 14”

An Attack by Amber Averay Check out Amber’s Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/TheEnchantmentSeries I don’t want your pity. I don’t need it. She hurt me, and I let her. I thought it was love. I thought she meant it when she said it was an accident. We met at a party held by mutual friends. You know howContinue reading “Spook-tober: Day 13”

An Attack by Elizabeth Averay VILE. FILTHY. UGLY. FAT. PIG. These are just a few of the things people have called me, mostly my former class ‘mates’, and now they expect me to go to a reunion. I won’t be going – but I will send them a gift to remember me by. Something veryContinue reading “Spook-tober: Day 13”
Spook-tober: Day 13
An Attack The fourth body showed up on a quiet Sunday morning, and for Detective Irene, it was just as baffling and mysterious as the first three. Her heart dropped when all the signs were there, but there was nothing to link them beside the modus operandi. Still, she was determined to solve these crimesContinue reading “Spook-tober: Day 13”

Possessed by Amber Averay Check out Amber’s Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/TheEnchantmentSeries Day 1 Every town has its legends, and ours is no exception. But where once people were quite sanguine about it, we’re not so cavalier now. When it was animals being slaughtered, mutilated, drained of blood there was fear, but the Council shrugged and said, what elseContinue reading “Spook-tober: Day 12”
Spook-tober: Day 12
Possessed by Elizabeth Averay Possessed The hunger gnaws at me. It is a constant ache and burn in my throat and gut. Nothing quells it, nothing dulls it. I dream of being sated but I can’t. There is no way out. I am a prisoner in more ways than one. Locked in a cell withContinue reading “Spook-tober: Day 12”
