Bright
moonlight cast a beam through the dark window of the cold eerie room.
Cheryl looked upon the closed eyes of the form that lay on the
four-poster bed at one end of the large spacious room.
She
was trembling, looking about her as if expecting someone or something
to jump out and scare her.
Something
in her, urged her to move closer. A few more steps brought her to the
middle of the room. Everything in her told her that this was a
terrible idea.
The
form upon the bed did not move as she approached closer, nearing the
foot of the bed.
Stiff
and now more scared than ever, Cheryl stole a quick glance behind
her. All remained the same; the bedroom door stood open just a crack,
enough to let in a thin stream of light.
Taking
a breath she placed her hand on the post at the end of the bed and
moved around the side. Now her heart was beating so loudly she could
feel the pounding in her head.
The
white face of the form on the bed sent chills down her whole body.
She tried not to look at it, but instead at the pillow on which the
the dark hair was spread. Daring to move a little closer, Cheryl
noticed the corner of an envelope, barely noticeable, protruding from
under the pillow's end.
As
she reached out to lift the pillow and pull it out, someone grabbed
her around the mouth from behind.
So uh, what d'you think? I probably need a bit more description don't I. Will work on that!
