Some actions cannot be undone, so once down the #rabbit_hole, one must make a plan. #vss365 #vsshorror
"She couldn’t follow those dark thoughts any further. She knew whatever he did, it would be nasty. He might be able to get away with what he had done in the past, but he wasn’t going to visit any more pain on the creature beyond the door in front of her." - untitled horror novel, Evelith Gray

Sometimes home isn't the best sanctuary, especially when your new friend is something too big, too strange to exist.

"'Maybe I should just take you home with me.' That would be easy to explain to Jake and Mickey. She could waltz in with the creature wrapped around her like a new cloak and preen like a movie star on the red carpet." - untitled horror novel, Evelith Gray

There are messages in #dust as there are in a sudden feeling of #ice in the veins. Trust your instincts. #vss365 #vsshorror
"None of that was the case here. This house was eerily normal. It wasn’t the pig sty one might expect from a man in his golden years living alone, nor was it the chic home of someone with an eye for décor. It was a house from a movie set, more of a facade than anything, and it chilled her to think what else he might be hiding. 'What other hobbies do you have?' she asked the absent homeowner. Follow the dust, she knew that was the key. It’s what Sam taught her. Most people didn’t dust their homes as often as they should, and you could read someone like a book if you only knew what to look for." - untitled horror novel, Evelith Gray

Sometimes the scares are accidental, but you have to know when to #quit. #vss365 #vsshorror #amwriting
"She caught movement in the corner of her eye, turned her head, and saw the creature had slithered up behind her and had its head and little hands over her shoulder. She bit back a shriek and stood as still as she could, sausages forgotten, until the creature turned its head to look at her face. 'Too close,' she whispered, barely making her lips move. The creature ducked back, and when her body would cooperate to turn her around, she saw it had slithered back a few feet. It was still a lot closer than she had expected it to be, close enough to be in striking distance, she was willing to bet, but not so close that her blood congealed in her veins. 'You have got to stop doing that.'" - Evelith Gray, untitled horror novel

If you came upon something beastly, could you #guess at the likelihood of it being #sweet? Do you have the #esoteric knowledge to take on something otherworldly? #vsshorror #vss365
"'If I let you out of here, can you find your way somewhere safe?' She knew the answer before she even finished asking. Of course it couldn’t. This creature had been kept in captivity, probably bred in captivity, and wouldn’t be able to survive in the wild. 'Do I call animal control?' She thought back to her last foray with the kind people who worked for the city. She had called them for a wandering pitbull wearing a harness but no tags. The gentleman from the city had hoisted the happy dog into the bed of his truck like it was his best friend, and she had felt confident the man had the animal’s best interest at heart. But that was a trained dog, someone’s well-fed pet who responded to commands like 'Sit' and 'Stay'. This creature was unlikely to do either. She studied it. 'Do you know "sit"?' It studied her back. 'No, I guess not.'" - untitled horror novel, Evelith Gray

The #question in a horror novel is not always how to kill the beast; sometimes, it's how do we tame it? #WIP #horrorwriting #vss365 #vsshorror
"'What kind of monster could do this?' she asked, but the creature didn’t have any answers for her. She lifted a hand and hesitated. A monster had done this, true, but the creature in front of her was massive and seemed intelligent. If she removed that cord, how wide would those jaws open up, and what would those fangs look like? The creature’s thick body coiled further so that the thickest loop of the heavy body covered more of its head. 'You’re afraid,' she said. 'You think I’m going to do something awful to you?' The creature’s eyes followed her hand as it slowly moved toward its face. 'Don’t bite me.'" - Evelith Gray, untitled horror novel

Excerpt from my #WIP #horror novel in which my main character experiences unexpected #delight.
#amwriting #vss365 @gorhyme.bsky.social
"She thought revulsion would creep up her skin when those little hands touched her, but all she felt was warmth. The scales were smooth, and though they glinted in the low light, they were as dry as a brown lunch bag. As the muscled body undulated toward her, she expected to hear dry, papery crinkling, but there was nothing but her own heavy breathing as she met those depthless eyes." - Evelith Gray, untitled novel

Anything worth fighting for is worth #turning the page and starting new. #amwriting #vss365
"I turn the page, and there we are. We are bruised and shaken. But alive. And we’re not 'I', 'You'. We’re 'Us'. We’re whole, one piece, stitched together by our love and determination to make this work." - Our Story, by Evelith Gray

"We can burn it down. We can throw it away. We can shatter it into tiny pieces sharp enough to kill us both by a thousand cuts. Or we can clean up our house together." - Clean by Evelith Gray

My contribution for today's #vss365 prompt, #Solitude. #amwriting
I excel at leaving. I can make up my mind, pack everything I own, and burn a bridge before you know how the fight ended. I can excise myself and my beloved things with precision and care, but quick as the whip of a gator’s tail, and leave you with nothing but remnants of me, of us. If you don’t reach out, you can pretend I died, because you’ll never hear from me again. You may hear about me, but that’s only if you ask, because anyone who knows me understands that I’m done. I’m done with you. I’m done with this tragedy we lived, however short or long, and I won’t revisit it. Not where you can see me. I’ll traverse it in my mind. I’ll go over the charred remains and pick at the wound, but you won’t know. It’s all in my head. It’s all in my heart. But you’re not, not anymore, not once I’ve decided we’re through. I’ve made up my mind: I’m done with you, and like a gasoline-soaked circus tent, you’ll go up in smoke. Evelith Gray, "Solitude"
