Edward hasn’t gone into the basement in awhile, the stairs as old and rickety as he is. He trembles, stares at the door.
Something on the other side wants out of the basement, into the house. It knocks, politely. At first.
Edward turns to run as the door groans open.

Yikes! What is in the basement?? Your stories always get to me. :D
I don’t think you really want to know…. :)
I want to see what’s on the other side. And by see, I mean in written word, not in person. :)
Ha ha!
Fantastic! You created a great feeling of dread in only 50 words.
Thanks so much, Nick!
Creepy stuff. I love it!
Thank you, Donna! I appreciate you reading and commenting.
