The bedroom was so profoundly quiet she could hear the rhythm of her heart beating. With the sound of each heart beat she became increasingly restless and now, extremely nerved because her cell phone was dead, and wondered when he’d be home since he could not call her. Suddenly her heart grips with fear from the sounding of a door squeak. She hears footsteps! She can’t scream! All at once she hears, “Honey, I’m home!”

Fabulous suspense building! This one is great, Deb ❤
Thanks Red! I had a word missing in the first line, but put it in, then took out anther in a different spot so it was still 75 words.
Thanks for coming by!
Hugs xx
Nice one Debs – vereee scary! 🙂
I hate it when I hear footsteps outside my door or kids creating havoc outside! 😦
Love and hugs!
Prenin.
I don’t like it either, especially when I’m alone.
Thanks Prenin! xx
Was someone in bed with her? haha
Anything is possible.
You can feel the tension build in this one, Deb!
I was hoping for that…thanks Tom! xx
Beautiful story and ending my Deb!
Just a little tension builder, Wendell. I do it for the Flash in the Pan from Red’s place…thank you, my brother! xx
Nice suspense in that one!

Just a little something I thinks many woman go through when their not use to being alone, especially if they have no phone contact. 😉
Hugs xxx
Yes I can appreciate that, hey I bet there are some blokes that feel that way too, it’s not just females that feel edgy, of course I have my Zombies to keep me company so I am absolutely fine 🙂 lol
Andro xxx
I got my dogs to keep me company, but they seem to be on edge when Mitch isn’t home. 😦
Hugs xx
Hey don’t worry just keep the doors and windows locked and you will be fine 🙂 I might have to send a few Zombies and Skellies round for you but as they always eat all the best foodstuffs poor Mitch might not be too happy about that 😦 lol
Andro xxx
That’s okay, he can buy more food later, if the Zombies with eat the unwanted guests…lol
Hugs xx
They can be trained for that no problemo 🙂 lol
Andro xxx
Just as long as they don’t come after me. Hey, wait a minute…I can’t trust a Zombie! 😉
Hugs xx
Don’t worry they will be outside on guard duty 🙂
Andro xxx
Oh good, I thought you wanted them to sit in here with me…I’d be dinner.
Hugs xx
Nooooo they can never be trusted 😦
Andro xxx
Knew that…but forgot. Just what they would hope for too…lol
Great suspense.
