Writers like me sometimes add horror or suspense elements into their Romance story line. And in honor of Halloween, which is just around the corner, here are thirteen nerve racking descriptions off the top of my head.
1. The wind howled.
2. The hair on the back of her neck stood on end.
3. A chill went down her back.
4. Footsteps echoed in the dusty hallway.
5. A door squeaked loudly.
6. Not for the first time did she regret letting her boyfriend talk her into going to the cemetery at midnight.
7. Just for a moment his eyes glowed yellow.
8. It was pitch black in the house. She flipped on the light, and it didn’t come on.

9. Then she heard a loud noise, and she knew no one was home at this hour.
10. A loud screech made her jump.
11. Lightning crackled over the old empty house, and just briefly lit a face in the window.
12. Her sight finally adjusted to the dim light, and focused on a pair of eyes
staring back at her.
13. Behind her something scuttled across the floor, she spun around but saw nothing.

Oh, man... You used "scuttled!"
That's a word that sets me on edge. Things which scuttle should be stamped to oblivion!
LOL!
Happy TT!

athanks for your comments. Glad you liked the pics of roses and stories.
Take great care, my friend.

Hi Merle,
Oh good, yeah that was my aim, scare you or make you look behind you. What was that noise? Did something scuttle?
Loved your post as always. Your post are always a joy to read.
Take care and have a great weekend.

I'd like an enormous "ruined castle" Victorian gothic folly type holiday home... with at least 3 layers each of atticks and dungeons... wouldn't that be amazing!
Hi Gled,
Yes it would, and a real Gothic horror tale it would be too.
Janice~
