Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A Very well-written thirteen word horror poem. It is very scary when we hear someone behind us in the dark and we cannot see them. We run as fast as we can and hope he cannot run faster.

Hi Sandra Thanks for reading my attempt At a 13 word horror late at night unable to sleep so this is what I do LOL Yes would hate to hear those footsteps behind me Cheers Chris
Comment from LisaMay
Your story, though brief as required, paints a vivid picture for us, especially women who can't run fast. The thought of being followed makes us feel very vulnerable and you have caught this well. The word-per-line format enhances the feeling.

This meets the contest requirements splendidly as you deliver a structurally sound 13 Word Poem in the topic of horror. I thought your format clever as it adds to the sense of frantic escape with no way out. Good luck in the judging and thank you very much for sharing it.

Hi Monica Thanks for reading my late night unable to sleep writing LOL
I saw this and thought I will give this a go and thought this is what would happen to some out by themselves late at night and how I would feel hearing footsteps that mimicked mine Cheers Chrisx
Comment from Alan Clark
When I first saw the story description 'A 13 word horror story', I thought it could not possibly involve a complete story. I was wrong - it did. Kudos on a great visual. In my mind, I could see her attacker gaining ground as she ran as fast as she could.

Hi Alan Thanks for reviewing my horror attempt but your words capture exactly what I hoped a reader would see in this somewhat short story many Cheers much appreciated Christine
Comment from NickieT
I enjoy this entry a lot. Your form makes it seem drawn out, heightening the tension. I also like how you have mirrored the woman and the man's actions/reactions. It feels complete despite being so few words. Best of luck!

You certainly conveyed the action and the emotions in this short but very effective poem! the picture adds to the feeling of terror, and the format of your poem adds to the action! Happy Halloween dreams!

Comment from Susan Larson
What a feat dreaming up this horror story and presenting it in a mere thirteen words! The picture adds a lot to your words, and the one word per line makes the reader feel the footsteps as the story moves along. Thank you for the well wishes for pleasant dreams!

Comment from aryr
Good luck in the contest Christine. I had to chuckle when you added in your narrative note wishes for pleasant dreams. You definitely caught the essence of a brief nightmare tale in just thirteen words. Very well done and nice picture choice.
