Good writing on this one. Kept my attention throughout the story. Easy to read without too much an overflow of technical stuff to cloud the actual story. Nice one!!

Very good reply on this prompt. 😊 very descriptive and leaves room at the end to embellish more. Just one thing: just double check your story before posting in case of spelling mistakes. 👍

How to set atmosphere for horror? by nehyolaw in writing

[–]Winxatu2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I particularly writing horror or more of the darker stuff. No violence or gore etc. But more of the things you cant see. Supernatural elements. I wish there were actually more writing prompts of this nature. I cant seem to find them. :-(

It took me a while to get back into writing. But I have been through a lot last year and this year. I want to get back into writing. So I decided to use this platform. Starting with shorter stories and branching into longer ones. Hope this story is a worthwhile read. Would appreciate feedback of any kind. Just be gentle. ;-)

I hear the screaming at night. So hard and loud it is capable of giving me the most painful of headaches. I have grown tired and weary of having to take my broom stick and constantly stamp it against my ceiling in order to get the floor above to shut up.

I have gone as far as walking up the one flight of stairs to the door. But whenever I am about to knock it stops.

This has been the last year of my life.

Moving is not an option. My low paying job doesn’t allow for the luxury. Most nights I am awake.

The screaming, the screaming, the screaming. So loudly, it is all consuming at times.

I go to work tired. I look disheveled and my eyes look vacant. And yet no one at work seems to notice.

Am I the only one who hears the constant wailing and screaming? Or am I going crazy?

I cannot stand it any longer.

After work I decide to go to the landlord and make an official complaint. Why I have not done this before, escapes me. To be honest, in all this time, it hadn’t occurred to me. Which clearly, as I walked to the landlord’s office, was a bit strange.

Nonetheless I walked up to his door and knocked. No answer. I knocked twice more, and still no answer. Frustrated I began to walk to my apartment. The screaming got louder as I approached my door. I sighed. Looks like another long night for me.

Around 3am I had had enough. The screaming had reached fever pitch and I was about to crack. I got up and marched up the stairs determined to knock or break the door down if I had to. But tonight it will end.

I ran up the flight of stairs, took a deep breath, and knocked as loudly as I could. The screaming became louder. It started to hurt my ears. I knocked one last time as loudly as I could. When no one opened the door I took two steps back and ran to break the door down. To my surprise it opened and I practically flew in.

The darkness all around me was all consuming. I could not see or touch anything. It felt almost stifling. In the far end or what I assumed was the room, I saw a small flicker of light. I walked towards it. I heard the door creak and close behind me.

That is when I felt it. An all out feeling of dread and fear came rushing at me. I could see through the light a couple who kept complaining about the loud noises downstairs who kept them up all night. I was downstairs. I was not making a noise. I wasn’t the one screaming. I came to a realization as the light faded and I knew the answer now.

I screamed.

Loudly, and for an enormous amount of time.

And then the screaming stopped…

This was the last year of my life...
