I can't remember anyone writing of ghosts, ghouls and nasty wraiths on fanstory before, but you did it very well indeed Carol, in fact, superbly well, so we have Sandra and Madeleine with completely different aims and goals, beautifully written dear girl, blessings Roy

    Thank you so much for your awesome comments, Roy. To be honest, when I started writing this story it wasn't suppose to be so "ghostly" but I always say my stories take on a life of their own. I am honored that you think I have done this so well. Thank you so much.
    Smiles, Carol

    Thanks Teri...Writing this ghost stuff is harder than I thought. I scare myself! LOL... And I don't want anything horrible to happen but I need to scare the reader now and then...I think that's how this stuff works.
    Have a great day!

    lol Just admit it dear friend. This is not your style of writing. I don't like horror at all. I have always enjoyed your work, but horror is not my thing! love and blessings, Teri

These chapters are expertly crafted, with a well-balanced mix of action, dialogue, and introspection that keeps the story moving at a steady pace. The writing is clear and concise, with a strong attention to detail that brings the setting and characters to life in a subtle yet effective way. The author's skill in character development shines through, as each character feels fully realized and multi-dimensional. Overall, these chapters are a pleasure to read, and showcase the writer's talent for storytelling.

It's late in the week and you're still putting out chapters that make an old reader's butt pucker with excitement. And just in the nick-of-time it appears there might be a last second escape. LOL. Have a great weekend!
Thanks for sharing.

This is scary. I hope you know where it is going and aren't waiting on your muse to tell you because I don't want to be left wondering what happens next. lol You have a way of making it hard to wait of you next chapter.

Great writing in this post. I can't wait to see who was there. I'm afraid it's Madeline, but I sure hope not. Maybe Lorrie.

Sandra's voice trembled as she clutched her pillow tightly, her eyes scanning the darkened room. (adverb needs to be as close to the verb as possible, clutched tight, but here I think clutched takes care of it and you don't need tightly.)

She sighed, "I don't want to wake up if I'm dreaming." (sighed.)

Besides, I'm leaving, so what's the harm of listening to see what that woman is up to?" ("Besides...)

    Hello, Barbara... thank you as always for being on top of everything and helping me out, I've fixed and changed per your suggestions. I forgot that this is a new month, so I will be sure and nominate again. Glad you enjoyed the chapter. These ghost stories aren't easy to write.
