PREFACE

NANNIES GHOST

A strong breeze came through a cracked window in the living room and straight up to Rachel’s room, where she was studying at her desk. She spun around with a fright and then sighed and lay back on her chair. Another strong wind blew, dropping her pen on the floor. Rachel got up and bent over to pick up the pen which went rolling up to the door, and as she knelt down, she noticed a blood stain. She came out of her room and to her surprise there was a trail of blood that went all the way downstairs. Rachel creped down the stairs without a making a noise, her heart was thumping loud. The trial led her to the kitchen. As she turned on the lights she felt a little relief to see that it was only her tabby cat feeding on a dead mouse. Rachel went inside to close an opened window and in a matter of minutes the power went off. It was dark and the moonlight had faded away long before. Rachel could not find her torch so she reached out to open a cupboard to get a matchbox but she felt funny as she tried to open the cupboard it wouldn’t budge, like something was holding it tight. Rachel didn’t realize that she was not alone after all when she felt a scaly and part slimy hand holding her right arm, she tried to scream but the hand covered her mouth before she even tried.

The hand held her mouth tightly and brought her close to it, as Rachel started shivering vigorously, the thing whispered something into her ear and then suddenly the lights went on as Rachel stood still with her eyes closed.

OK. Before I forget, there is one typo that leaps out. Trial. I think it should be trail. If I didn't say it I'd forget. Having said that... it was a good opening. I do enjoy a story that's not all preamble. It has some good shock elements to it and has me interested in finding out what comes next. I look forward to it. Also nice to see you trying a different style and working so well
