Poetry & Prose by Carol J Forrester
The house came along with the rest of the inheritance; all sixteen million of Uncle Albert’s un-explained fortune.
When the men came to fit the new carpets we didn’t question the stained riddled floorboards, the join in the skirting halfway around the living-room or why the job was only ever completed halfway.
It was always best to avoid asking questions of Uncle Albert.
Written for Chuck Wendig’s writing prompt: “A horror story in three sentences”

Good one Carol I must have a look a this challenge. I remember reading the two sentence horror stories some time ago.
You get a whole range of horror prompts around Halloween. The challenge is to find one that actually sparks interest.
Thanks Carol, have a good day.
Now that’s distilled essence!
Glad that you think so. 😀
