Challenge genre: HORROR
Paranormal.
Or paranoia?
The slight chill breathing down your neck.
Faint, indiscernible whispers from empty rooms.
The irrational stillness, sudden dryness in the air, slowly sucking the moisture from your mouth, freezing your heart, choking it, until it pumps in frequent little gasps, each one, a little death and rebirth.
Terror.
No matter the origin, imagined or not, whenever there is a threat, lodged in the deep crevices of your mind, there is the chance it is real.
Have you ever felt a premonition?
Not really the vision that shows you what’s going to happen. No, the cryptic, coy feeling, that stirs in your gut. Slowly permeating as it takes its time to cook, until your insides, your mind, dissolves into a softened mess.
Nonsense? Alright. I’ll share a story from a friend of a friend of mine. Somewhere, something that is somehow not quite right is in the air. Hopefully, you’ll take heed, unlike the person in this story. It was a dark day for Bevin James; one that he thought he was prepared for.
No one could have been prepared.
