At this strangers touch your first instinct is to recoil. His hand is ice cold! He is very strong despite his anemic, weak appearance and you cannot break his grip. You are helpless but to be led into the house and into a dimly lit room. "Forgive the lack of bright lights here, my eyes are very sensitive" your host says.  "Please come sit in my parlor if you wish, or wait for me here. The fire in my parlor will warm you. The storm is upon us. Let me take your coat". You hand him your coat and he turns to put it away, you see a crumpled piece of paper at your feet and quickly pick it up! He turns and eyes you suspiciously. Then he takes your arm and once again you are helpless except to follow. He takes you to the center of the foyer and you almost fall when he releases his grip on your arm. You can hear the fire crackling from the parlor and the flames cast eerie shadows on the room. Your host looks even more menacing and corpse-like. Should you return the crumpled paper to your host or keep it? † I'll keep the paper. Copyright © 1998-2013 M. Buck All Rights Reserved FRIGHTBYTES.COM - Home |
