Challenge of the Week XCVI
Goosebumps. It's that time of year. The genre is horror. Write something scary, something spooky, something that sends chills down the spine, causes goosebumps to prickle your reader's skin. There's a catch. This week you will write the first part of a two-part piece. Next week you'll finish the story you started. This week we're looking for a great start to the story. Next week we'll be looking for a strong finish. Fiction or non-fiction, poetry or Prose.

careful in the attic

gloomy night

stuffy room

curious teens

day of doom

silent time

passing by

till we heard

a soft cry

taped up box

by the wall

opened box

teens enthralled

porcelain skin

piercing eyes

tangled hair

crooked thighs

you turned away

unamused

moving on

I kept staring at her

bewitched and distraught

and that is when

I saw with my eyes

that broken girl

smiling and blinking

and that is when I foresaw our demise

that broken girl

was twitching and shifting

why don’t you believe me

why do you not care

you just laugh it off

knowing I'm scared

don't tell me I’m wrong

don't tell me I’m crazy

I know what I saw

and I saw what I said

that doll is alive

no it's not in my head

that doll is alive, dammit

*gasp*

WATCH OUT FOR YOUR HEAD!!
