RANDOM THOUGHTS by Trish

… not necessarily sane

Friday Fictioneers – Sensory Explosion

Posted on 19/08/2020 by trishsplace

Photo Prompt by ted-strutz

Photo by Ted Strutz

Anne Rice, New Orleans, Louisiana, the Vampire Chronicles; Lestat.

Is this house even in Louisiana; even in the States?

Rarefied living; or haunted house.

Family home; or abandoned derelict.

Pet cemetery in the backyard; or bones of generations past.

What do you think as you pass by?

Eyes to the pavement, feet pushing through leaves; dropped blooms.

Do you look up and wonder, as do I?

Sniff the air; peek through windows; peer over the fence.

Rattle a fence post; kick at the base.

Shake the tree to drop leaves in your face.

Sensory explosion! (95 words)

House of horror or family home? Just the sort of thoughts you’d have walking past a house like this. Hope it’s the latter 🙂

A saw Anne Rice and Stephen King when the prompt flashed up. Enjoyed this.

It does look like a house that would have a pet cemetery! Lovely piece of writing.

It could well be a wonderful place – it’s hard to tell without full colour!
