No Escape ( Haggard's Halls ) Paul E. Berube
My doorbell rang one wintry night, In haste I said, " come in." No one stood upon the stoop 'cept a cold and bitter wind. A ghostly gust swept 'cross the room and turned my breath to frost. Laughing, I just shrugged it off, still showing no remorse. Feeling very foolish, I 'rose to close the door; Saw eerie shadowed footprints which were not there before. They led into my study, where novels sit abound. I looked above the second shelf, where one was spinning 'round. Shaken by that floating book and cowering took a seat. It laid itself into my lap, to hamper my retreat. In boldest print, upon the cover, I fear to tell it all. With fancy stroke and etched in blood read
I read this on your site a while back. I told you it was my favorite and it still is. This series is brilliantly written and this part captures its overall essence. I saved this one to my library! Hugs and thanks:) Sheila
I went over to the other site and got caught up. Fantastic, Paul. I needed something like this to get me blood flowing again. Hehehehe. Great fun, fun work, wonderful! ~~Nordette

OOOOO...The local Librarian catchin up with you again, Paul?! :)) I love the recital quality to this one... designed to be spoken and read aloud to a close-gathered audience of those with stout hearts and nerves of steel. Makes me realise how strong the oral tradition in story-telling really is. The "Tune In" cliffhanger is here...!! TY Kate xx
Nice write Paul, taking my blankie and teddy bear to bed with me tonight for comfort. Might even grab a bail of hay to feed my nightmares! LOL Great job from a very creative mind!

Paul,
It's always good to see you!
I've missed your Haggard's Halls tales. Although they have always been a bit spooky, they also make the imagination peek!
Add excitement to the mornings.
Another excellent write!
