Hi all! Thank you so much for entering this month – sorry I’m not the actual winner of last month but I’ve had fun being undeserved organiser anyway!
@knickylaurelle, I loved the dark, shadowy atmosphere to this. Lost boys and forests and witches – *chefs kiss* Some utterly beautiful imagery in here, my favourite has got to be ‘a cackle can be heard like a secret, old and mad’ I can see this being longer. There’s definitely the heartache and complexity for it.
@annechamberlain ooh lovely ghost story! The scene setting of the tower was gorgeous & I loved the contrast between the two scenes too. You leave me wanting to know more, to follow her realisation and have flashbacks to the tower and, and, and…. 😀
@athelstone So creepy. So shivery, nausea inducing, urgh ohmygodno dawning realisation. Yes. Love this. Felt like one of Roald Dahl’s really dark adult short stories.
All three of these were fabulous and so different to each other. Thank you so much for making the time to enter. This month’s winner for me is @athelstone – well done for making my skin crawl!

Thank you Raine for so topically filling the breach, setting and judging (always the hardest part) the monthly comp. I am making good progress after stroke + surgery so hope to be back to full-strength participation soon
*giant hugs*
Oh my goodness, Sandra, I had no idea you were going through such a hard time. Pleased to hear you’re making good progress. Take it easy. Best wishes to you and yours. xxx
Thanks, Newbie. I count myself lucky to have come through it with minimal side effects – and a huge warm glow from the quantity and breadth of caring messages which have come my way from friends and family.
