THE SHOWING
OK, these aren't my memories. Or are they? The Showing is my first venture into the paranormal.
People say : Write what you know. They have been telling me that for years. So, I decided to go and do just that. And who is going to believe me, now that I have done what I was told to?
The Showing started as a piece of Flash Fiction. That's a very short story, less than 1000 words. Once I had written that, I had no choice. The story was inside me, bursting with its own power, demanding to get out.
I had to get my family's approval for this book. Is it fact? Is it fiction? Or faction? You decide.
MEMORIES
“You’ve found the front bedroom then – needs a bit of modernisation,” she said, and turning her back, went off to the master bedroom. An ancient yet familiar feeling came over me, and I pushed the bedroom door tightly shut. Was that an almost breath on the landing? Not quite a footfall? A heavy velvet curtain hung beside the door for this very purpose, and I pulled it hard across the doorway to seal the room. Her feet, heels clicking as she scurried, started down onto the varnished wooden stairs: reached the half-landing and stopped abruptly. After counting to ten, I pulled aside the curtain, opened the door and walked firmly and without pause down the echoing, empty stairway, across the hall and out through the open front door without once looking behind or to either side. The chill air followed me out onto the drive, and the door of the empty house slid shut behind me. The windows glowered as I made my solitary way up the drive. I would never want to own my grandparents’ house.
