It's Halloween time and I find myself devouring books of the horror and suspense genre. There is something so fascinating about human reactions in a scary situation, but that's much more complex. I think the element that scares me the most in a scary book is the suspense and anticipation that you feel while you're waiting for the zombie/monster/vampire/ etc to strike.
Imagine yourself in a situation in which you are essentially trapped. Maybe it was an accident, maybe it was on purpose. Suddenly, the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and your senses tell you someone (or something) is there. Describe your body and mind's reaction as things get tense. To add a twist, perhaps you can't see or are only seeing through a crack or a crevise. Describe what's going on around you blindedly. As always, feel free to post your writings here and enjoy
