facinating. thanks so much

Dark Month on OWL was a very sad place for a while... Glad you found this interesting, at least!

Ooh, this was wicked good. I particularly enjoyed the line that started, Mine bear thistles... That was such a graphic image. This entire piece is very well done. I felt foreboding and dread almost instantly.
Author's Response: Thanks, Lula. It's a creepy object there in the DoM with nefarious aims. I can just see its evil shredding all thoughts of hope and love... *shudders
Thanks for reviewing :)

Beautifully dark and interesting! A fine work!
Author's Response: Thank you very much! I'm delighted you enjoyed it (as Dark Stories go, that is.)
Well, I don't know what was going on there, but it was impressively atmospheric and frightening anyway!

I changed the a/n to include the prompt. Sorry about that! The POV is from an object in the Department of Mysteries. So, that's what's going on... hope that helps, and thanks for reviewing :)
That's really spooky. The evil permeates each paragraph. :0

Thank you. Given that it was written for a "Darkmonth" sort of challenge, it sounds like I succeeded :) Thanks for reviewing!
Well this just gave me goose flesh. Literally--my arms are all bumpy.

*grins It was written for "Darkfic Month" on OWL, so... goose flesh sounds about right. Thanks for reviewing. I hope you liked it despite the gooseflesh :)
