Scary
The house is quiet
Too quiet
The baseball game is on mute
My book is unread
I’d read the mystery I waited for, but I think it’s scary. In fact the cover pronounces it as “hide under the covers” frightening. One reviewer suggested you don’t read this at night or when you’re alone.
A part of me wants to ignore the critics and turn to the first page, but another part of me says don’t. I’ve locked the doors. No one is here save for me—so what’s holding me back?
Perhaps these lines: “A pulse-pounding …thriller.” “…will scare you to death.”
Perhaps I’ll put that aside and read my the summer issue of Writer’s Chronicle or an art book or Mary Poppins.
