#QueerPrompts my current WIP #s3 IS a horror novel, so let's talk ghosts and how the relate to grief and memory.

Ghosts tend to linger for a reason; tragic end, attachment to a place/person/object, energetic attachment, strong motives, etc.

What is the logic behind the ghost?

#TBBPrompt this is one of the first scares in Such Sweet Sorrow. In a mirrors reflection.

#AQWrites #S3

A snippet from Such Sweet Sorrow by Artemis Quinn. It says:

Beneath the hooks was a large, ornate oval mirror, mounted in an ornate filigree frame that was crafted in a brilliant bronze, green patina showing its age. 

Wait a second…

I stepped closer, my eyes narrowing as I stared at the mirror. There was a smudge in the glass that looked like a face. What is that? I tilted my head, trying to change the angle, but the illusion didn’t fade. “No way…”

I twisted to look more fully at the mirror, holding the door with my right hand and leaning in. The face started to define — the right half of an eye, nose, full lips, and the start of an angular jaw beneath curly hair. There was way more detail here than it could be if I had just rubbed against it at some point. As I leaned in, the smudgy eye blinked. I jumped away with a gasp. “Fuck!!”

My heart pounded as I jumped back from the mirror, pressing against the door of the bathroom. I closed my eyes, shaking my head. You’re tired. That’s all.

#LitHodgePodge I do a lot of first person stuff, so my narration tends to be voicey and very different depending on who's talking. These are some examples, all from Aloe and Such Sweet Sorrow (my current WIPs/upcoming releases.)

This is a snippet from Such Sweet Sorrow!

A snippet from Such Sweet Sorrow by Artemis Quinn. It says:

The house was large and foreboding. Where it used to feel to feel like a castle welcoming its princess home, it had taken on a mind of its own the way only old houses seemed to do.

#QueerPrompts I love this. I'll do both!

Foreshadowing - 1st snippet is from Such Sweet Sorrow. ( #s3 ) This is a lighthearted moment, but it foreshadows something big.

Scary - 2nd is from Gaps in the Mist, a short story in the Uncanny and Uncouth collection.

A snippet from Such Sweet Sorrow by Artemis Quinn. It says:

I went to reply, but cut short at the sound of someone talking. My eyes flew to Elena’s, and she stared back, shoulders tense with caution. She mouthed ‘Who the fuck?’ before she turned towards the kitchen. Seconds felt like hours as they passed, listening intently to the words. 

“… Thirteen hours before the phone call was…”

I burst out laughing, shoulders sagging in relief. “Oh my god. It’s my podcast!”A snippet from Gaps In The Mist by Artemis Quinn. It says:

Then — I heard it.

A soft crackle of wood under pressure. Creak, creak, creak. SNAP.

My shoulders tensed. Was someone walking around our campsite? It's not like we were off of the trail, but also there were no real areas to set up camp otherwise.

I gasped, then covered my mouth. That was definitely something moving outside. Quietly, I wriggled t[wards the side of my tent that almost touched Josiah's, trying not ti alert whatever was out there. "Jojo," I whispered quietly. 

His back pressed against mine through the tent and he whispered, "No," sharp and urgent.

My heart began to thunder, eyes pulsing with a dull gray in the darkness. My breaths hitched, small and panicked. Fuck.
