Hello everyone, Mel here.
Invisibility
Of
all the paranormal traits I’d love to have, this is probably the one. Imagine
it; imagine all you could see and hear when no one knew you were there.
And
there’s more.
You
could seriously freak someone out. Is there anything scarier than thinking you’re
alone only to find out you’re not? Some of the best horror stories written come from nothing less: The
sudden door closing, the light flicked on, the breath on the back of your neck.
The
possibilities are endless.
How
about you? What trait would you like best? What would you do if you could be
invisible? Would you use it for good, or
some serious freaking out?
My contribution to Parallels: Felix was here is Haunted and, as you can imagine, invisibility plays a large role. Here is an excerpt:
“It doesn’t
matter,” she breathed, shaking her head. “Nothing does.”
John pulled
back to look into his wife’s face. “Are you sure you’re okay—do we need to call
your doctor?”
“The only
doctor I have is an ob-gyn, and I don’t think she’ll be able to do anything
about this.”
John shrugged.
“I don’t know, maybe it’s a hormone thing.”
Andy raised
her eyebrows. “Do you really want to go there?”
“Hormones are
powerful things, Andy. They can make you do all sorts of weird shit.”
“Like dream
your husband’s dead?” There is was; she’d said it.
His face
softened. “Is that it—is that what happened?”
Andy looked
past him to the sky beyond. His hands cupped her face and brought her focus
back to him. “I’m not leaving you, ever. Even if I die, I promise to haunt
you.”
Andy frowned.
“Don’t say that.”
“What? It’s
true. You can’t get rid of me; face it.”
Andy
shuddered; she didn’t know why.
