You built up the tension well in this piece, Ulla. I felt this particularly as your character is waiting for the person to open the door and confront them. But then you leave us wondering. Who is this person? Why have they been imprisoned and who is their captor? I hope that at some stage you may return to this. I couldn't find any faults with your work. Good luck in the contest...Jacob

G'day mate. Crikey that would have to be the scariest situation to be in. This is a very well written and presented piece and a great inclusion into this contest and I wish you luck in it. Cheers Fez

Oooo! That's gotta hurt. This was a nice build up of suspense leading to the 'shears for fears' moment. If the intruder survives, maybe a scissor stitch could be used. Happy day.

Wow. You had me gripped in terror. You fit so much into 100 words. Your descriptions are vivid and visceral. I want to know what happened after the intruder's head is stabbed. Thank you for scaring and daring.

Sounds, even without objects, project a fear into the mind that words cannot create.
Ok, here is my 100.

So, that is how it is going to be. They come at night and make scratching noises at my windows. Then, nothing. Noise that sounds like an attempt to open the rear door of the house.
The plan:
Infrared cameras--picture of the area, miniature microphones, near the rear doors and windows of the house, near the barn.

Two men near the barn. ON button, recording of loud barking hunting dogs, chasing feral hogs.

A flashlight, three men near the rear door. ON button, recording of a large rattle snake.
The raspy sound will freeze a person where they stand.

This is a very suspenseful story. I think you did a wonderful job following the writing prompt. The picture is kind of spooky as well.

Hi Ulla, well you have certainly set the pace here with your wonderfully penned horror story, it is a great entry for this particular competition, it has suspense intrigue and a violent ending, what more could any horror fan want? Good luck in the contest my friend.

Interesting story, and definitely scary. It's great that you were able to find just the right words to put together to make a horror tale. I sure hope the scissors were plunged into someone who needed stabbing! Great job!

It is very difficult to write a story with so few words, even harder to make the reader feel the fear of a horror story. I would have liked to know who was at opening the door, but sometimes there just aren't enough words. Well done!
