The crevices cracked further, with every loud thud. Walls crumbled, as large chunks of drywall fell from the ceiling. Something sinister was going on in the upstairs apartment. Just one person couldn’t make that racket.

They moved in a week ago. Jerry was transferred, his company suggesting this place. It seemed nice, and they settled in. One night, the sound, deafening, began, continuing until it got the response it was waiting for.

An eerie feeling came over Sandy, sending shivers down her spine. Glancing upward, she saw two eyes, staring at her, blank, cold, and lifeless.

They left everything behind.

Colleen is back with her poetry challenge.  This week, the words are Influence & Perception.  Remember, synonyms are a must!  Check out Colleen’s blog to find which forms of poetry are acceptable for this challenge.  Have fun!

Written as a Tanka, my synonyms are Impress and Enlightenment.


My dreams to impress

Became lackluster with age.

Now long forgotten,

Are the mad days of dazzling.

Enlightenment won over.

Sitting cross-legged, and with a carefree spirit, she summoned him over. Then had second thoughts. What if he was some mad man? It was too late now. He was making his way toward her, and she wasn’t in a position to get up quickly and run. Mustering all the courage she had, she waited for him to arrive.

“Where you motioning to me?” he asked.

“Um, no, I mean, yes, I mean, I don’t know what I was thinking.”

“I see. Well, I’ll be on my way then.”

“No, wait a sec. Maybe, this was meant to be.”

Maybe not….

The screen flickered and then he was gone…..

Caroline didn’t know what happened. One minute, a wonderful conversation with Richard, the next, poof! He vanished into thin air. All she saw was a light shining on an empty chair.

Richard planned it all along. He had been trying out new sets of magic tricks for his next show. What better time to test one then when talking to Caroline. Surely, she’d figure it out.

A sudden thump on the door brought him back to reality. Answering, he came face to face with the police. Had they discovered his true plan?
