Where I try to scare you with a text

Please, tell me you’re getting this. I’m not sure which way is which. I’m so so cold. And tired. They’re almost here. Run. Please. I love you.

  1. yep, she’s as scared as you.

    good job

    although when my teenager texts me “we have to go to the mall tonight” i get equally as creeped.

    1. I nearly put “I don’t know how to tell you this, but I’m pregnant” as the “scary text.”

      Now that I think about it, though, “Dad, I need you to take me bra shopping” might be the scariest possible text, ever.

    1. Thank you – I tend to get caught up with descriptions and become very, very wordy – it’s a good exercise to consolidate.

    1. Well, Nichole – welcome to my NaNoWriMo project . . . you’ll be one of the few who might be asked to read before I’m ready to publicize . . .

    1. Yes, I am, though I have a LOT to figure out. It’s my NaNoWriMo project, but I need to figure out if this happens in the beginning or at the end. I think I’m starting with it.

  2. Scary awesome. Definitely gave me chills. I’m trying to figure out what is going on. The first part seems like one thing. The second part confuses me a little. Who’s almost here? Sharks in the water? Bad guys?

    Nice job.

    1. Let’s leave it as “bad guys” coming.

      The first part is more an “oops, I screwed up.” The second part is, “it’s worse than we thought.”

      There will be more to come.

    1. That was the goal. The text-er isn’t someone who gives up . . . it’s meant to be final – but I’m not sure how final it will actually play out just yet.

  3. Zombies. This is what it made me think of. But…I’ve had zombies as muses for the past 3 nights. Not the kind of muse I want hanging around, LOL. Yes, run!! Run as fast you can.
