Hip, hip, hurray for another Six Sentence Sunday! For the past few weeks, I have been sharing snippets of a work-in-progtess titled Ghosts Don’t Wear Silk Stockings. (Next week I will switch to something new.)
Flash forward – Brianna’s world is falling apart. She’s lost contact with Greer, her ghost friend, and she still hasn’t come to any resolution in regards to Dan. Can she trust him? Hoping to find answers, she appeals to the creepy old woman who runs the bookshop where she first met Greer. She doesn’t have any reason to believe this woman can help her, but desperation is leading her down a dark path…

“I’m sorry,” Brianna said, “I didn’t realize you were closed.”
“Don’t be silly. I’ve been expecting you,” Emily said gesturing for Brianna to enter the dimly lit bookstore. Brianna hesitated before crossing the threshold and shoved her hands into her pockets trying to overcome the overwhelming chill that rattled her bones when she walked through the door. The place felt like death, she thought. She couldn’t get the thought out of her head even as she turned around to look at the ancient woman.

Thanks for stopping by. See you next Six Sentence Sunday. 🙂

Oooo, sounds so intriguing!! Very spooky feel with just enough mystery to make me want to read what will happen next!
Dimly lit bookstore, creepy old woman, chill rattling her bones? Yep, I’m hooked. Wonderfully spooky and ominious six!
Wonderful setting. You want to know what’s going on.
Very creepy that the woman was expecting her. Sounds like a bad situation’s about to get worse.
