This is an experiment, is it worth pursuing?
Susan

Grant stood beside his broken-down car and looked into the darkened sky. The country road was deserted.

Something was about to happen. Soon. He could feel it in the air. The night was darkā€¦ well, of course, nights are dark, but this was a different kind of dark. An expectant dark.

A light breeze ruffled the tops of the trees that were silhouetted against the night sky.

The only thing missing was a chilling fugue of psychotic music. But this was Real Life. In Real Life we get no such warnings

Sounds like fun. Are you looking for readers or just posting 13?

What's the experiment? The narrator voice?

I only have one chapter if anyone wants to read it.
And yes, it's the voice that's a little different for me. I'm trying to set a tone.
Thanks
Susan

You can send it my way Meenie. I love the eeriness you've established.

I would love to delve into the area of horror and suspense but I'm thinking I would get too long winded for such endeavors.

But in any case, sure send it my way and I'll take a look. It might take a day or so to get it back to you, is that ok?

It's a bit cutesy, but similar notions have sold in the past. Go ahead and try it, the most important thing is whether you can keep it up and maintain the narrative consistently.
