This story is out for submission!
Wow, I’d probably open-close repeatedly to see what popped up next, at least until turned too creepy.
It would be fascinating!
Wow, another antique shop… um, find! Sounds like one of the ghosts in the trunk isn’t quite dead, either. Katy doesn’t live anywhere near a bog where she could drop that thing, does she?
Whatever is in that trunk, she’d better think up something convincing to tell it!
Great scene, Icy.
Thanks!
A fascinating idea. I love the haunting of items that had been in that particular box. It also seems like it has been around quite a bit!
I don’t think I would have any inclination to open that trunk again, whatever is in there now is probably not going to be good news.
But would it survive climbing out, or would it be a ghost too?
A trunk of many things, much like the deck of many things there is little inside that you actually want to find. I think the curiosity would get the better of me though and I would keep digging through to see what else i might find.
Very nice concept! I love the idea of a trunk containing ghosts of the past. Good job. 🙂
I think I’d be dumping that trunk pretty quick!
But wouldn’t you be a tiny bit curious?
I remember thinking that would make a great story prompt when I first saw your photo of that trunk. I love what you’ve done with it.
Thanks!
Aaaaaaahhh, perfect ending! I wonder if she can open it with a poker or something so she’ll be far enough back when whoever-it-is jumps out and crumbles in the sunlight. Erm, if they do….
I don’t think I would want to open it! Well I would want to just out of sheer curiosity, but I don’t know if I could…
Wow! That was good. Thanks!
Holy hell, she’d better get rid of that thing quck. And for heaven’s sake, DON’T OPEN IT AGAIN!
Seriously, creepy. Well done. Thank you for my nightmares tonight, btw. 😛
You’re welcome! *evil giggle*
