21 Days until Halloween
Greetings to everyone in Blogger land. I must
say thank you to all the responders of yesterday’s blog. I was flattered by the
two questions I got in an e-mail that I had just opened this morning. My answers are (No) I am not related to
Steven King, and (Yes) have I considered screen writing, that's if someone
wants me.
I will say I had a lot of fun with yesterday’s
story and for those who believed parts of it were true; it is a complete work
of fiction. It is an original story that I wrote when I was hit with a big dose
of inspiration that came to me after looking at a friend’s farm pictures, he
had posted on Facebook, from out in Nebraska. The tractor inspiration came
after talking with my husband about a tractor pull event that he assisted with
last Saturday. We have a friend who purchased himself an old tractor - but for
the life of me, I can't remember the make/model, all I know is that it is old
with lots of old school character. Funny what inspires us in our daily lives.
Today's tale comes from a lady out west and
is of no relation to my family.
She writes: I know this story has been heard throughout the years and has been told in many plots and styles. I still remember
when a friend of mine told me the story. For the longest time I believed it to be true.
I was pleased to learn it was just a legend, but it still sends shivers up my spine when I share it with my friends. Would you please add this to your list of stories
on your countdown to Halloween? I look forward to reading your work each day.
Keep up the great writing. Best Regards - W. Forrester
"Humans Can Lick
Too"
A woman is home alone with only her dog
for company. Listening to the radio she hears of a serial killer on the loose,
so she locks all the doors and windows and goes to bed, taking her
dog to her room with her and letting it sleep under her bed. She wakes in the
night and can hear a dripping sound in her room. The bedside lamp won't work
and she is too scared to get out of bed to turn on the main light. She hides
under the covers but to reassure herself that the dog is still under the bed
she puts her hand down and feels a lick on her hand. She lays awake for some
time listening to the dripping sound and periodically puts her hand down to
where she can hear heavy breathing and each time gentle licks on her fingers.
Eventually she fell asleep, next morning when she wakes, on her wall written in
blood says “HUMANS CAN LICK TOO". As she looks up she sees her dog slashed
hanging on the wall.
