It’s been a long hard week and the weekend looks worse. On the other hand, the writing has gone well and that helps to balance the scale.
Still pulling from These Haunted Hills (Hopefully I’ll finish this or at least get closer during Camp Nano next month). Last time Brendan and Josh were recording ghosts in the murder hotel when the door slams shut. Again slightly longer, sorry.
“No, it couldn’t.” Joshua’s grin was gone and that frightened Brendan more than the doorway. “Keep recording.”
Brendan had no idea if he was still recording and the fear kept his brain from figuring out how to check. “How are we getting back out of here?”
Joshua made a shushing motion. “Do you want to say something about Diana, and what she did to you?”
A broken bit of board slid across the floor aiming right for them. Brendan ran for the door trying to pull it open. It refused to move. A cold sweat drenched him.
“I hope you got that.”
“I have no idea. Can you quit upsetting the ghost now?”
If you’d like to play along, Rainbow Snippets is a Facebook community where we post up 6 sentences of one of our LGBT stories every Saturday. It’s been fun and you can find it here. Be sure to check out all the offers! It’s been a great supportive group!
Nice! Thank you for sharing. And Happy Writing!

Thanks. Glad to hear it. The ghosts are presented as real here though the evidence isn’t much more than you’d see on any Ghost show on TV

LOL. Yeah, I think not upsetting the ghost sounds like a good idea.

Brendan is so with you on that. He’s thinking he’s down a dirt road with no cell service with a crazy man.

Yikes! But if being scared upsets the ghost, that’s a wicked catch-22!
