Inspired by Sadje’s What do you see #53 & VJ’s Weekly Challenge #118 – Frost
There was a chill in the air, a steely eeriness half exposed by the flame on the torch. Each nerve ending in my body standing ready as an ethereal frost escaped my lips. I felt as though a scream would soon erupt from the depths of my being.
The flame flickered wildly as cold gusts of wind licked the back of my neck. I felt a presence.
“Who disturbs my domain?” The screech of the crypt keeper assaulted me unexpectedly. I lost control of my senses, my bladder too.
Thank goodness it was dark and I was wearing black pants.

Waiting for the horror to unfold and …..a nice anti climax.

LOL But funny isn’t anti-climactic, is it? 😉

Definitely not a disappointing end, in a way it is a natural end to fear. Very unexpected is what I meant. A pleasure always to read your work.

It’s a great combo! 🙂 Have you ever seen the movie Tucker and Dale vs. Evil? It is hilarious but gnarly. Glad you liked this piece, Radhika! 🙂

I had a nervous chuckle at the end. Tentative because I was still spooked. 😍😅🤩

Wow! What serendipity and synchronicity. This feels like the 1st scene in my Peach Leaf Portal — that LOL feels like a book cover now… and, the story wasn’t even conceived of that way. Was to simply be an autumnal themed mandala of a portal. The work takes on its own life.
