Flash in the Pan

There was something in the air. She felt it.

It was like static electricity from towels when they stay in the dryer too long. All the hairs on her arms stood up before the shiver ran down her spine.

The squeak of the front door only meant one thing. She was not alone.

 

Welcome to “Flash in the Pan”

The word of the week isΒ squeak,Β and the upper limit for this month’s Flash in the Pan is 75 words. This comes in under the buzzer at 53 words. (Yes, I had in my head this month would be 50 words. Yes, I made this one longer than it started out originally.) Β 

If you are playing along for Flash in the Pan, or would like to join for the first time, visit the Flash in the Pan page to see the whys and wherefores on how to get started. This edition has a theme, so be sure to get all the details.

Happy Flashing!

~~~~~~~~~~

Which static drives you the most bananas? Are you a shocker or shockee? Did she leave the front door unlocked, or does the person have a key?

    • The upper limit is the maximum. There is already one on the FTP page which is a mere 33 words. All in fun, my dear Andro. πŸ˜‰

        • Oh, very good! I shall enjoy seeing it. Some of your recent work has been very inspiring. When I get some time for myself, I do want to begin drawing more. For now, I think cookies are a brilliant idea. Little Miss V is asking me if I like fish and onion cookies. I suppose I will have to think about that one. πŸ˜‰

  2. Static in my hair making it stand up on end drives me the craziest. Why couldn’t they have picked the lock?

    So maybe a 40 word limit then??

  4. I just hate those sudden electric shocks you get sometimes, when you touch someone. What THE?! It’s a fright.

  5. I like static electricity, I like my hair on end. But squeaks, no I don’t like those.

  7. I love this one Red!!
    Very thrilling…it gives me chill and starts imagining the ghost or the monster or the bad guy who is with her. I kinda like it to be a ghost rather than the other options.

  8. I think they picked the lock, but didn’t know the door squeaked.

  9. I feel the static in the second paragraph. The big finish, “She was not alone” sizzles with the question who/what? Should she be afraid or not? Delicious cliffhanger.
