Loved the imagery! Especially the way personification was used!

Chilling. The descriptive horror stole my breath, so vivid it became real, though made only of words.

Petra - thank you for reading. Honestly, I was challenged with a prompt and my mind took over. Glad it landed so vividly.

The personification really brings it alive. I am a fan of horror and this has both physical and psychological aspects to it. Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you Merdhin - I am so glad you enjoyed this one. Not my usual vibe, but a writing prompt brings out the psychological horror side of me.

Great response to the prompt. I liked that. Has a real chilling edge and element of fear to it.
