Have a very bad feeling that she is going to light the candles!
Nice pacing and dialogue. Very enjoyable…and spooky…story.
Well done.
Thank you!
I do love my ghost stories. Maybe one day I’ll explain how the tweed man came to own a hand of glory!
It would be really clever if you explained it using of the prompts for Fiction Friday!
I wonder if this is how “Thing” from The Addams Family met its end?
Great pace and dialogue.

I think something bad is about to happen! An intriguing piece.
Can you get her to light the candles please? I want to see what happens 🙂
I’ve always been fascinated by the Hand of Glory…maybe we’ll meet Nikki again and see what goes on!
I loved this – simple, the two shoppers are sketched out efficiently and without messing about. And I love the fact that you’ve left it up to the reader to worry about the hand. Ace 🙂
I really, really enjoyed this, and I too want to see what happens when those candles are lit. I mean, she is going to light them, right?
She might not…but maybe someone else will!
