Well even the middle of the day, imagine the harsh desert light, beating down upon the ground and painting everything in stark white. A shimmering mirage appears before a thirsty man, He reaches out, but ... suddenly he doesn't feel anything his hand anymore.
Like I said, I've read some Poe, and know that by changing the descriptive words, I can make the atmosphere seem more menacing then enchanting and ethereal, or adventurous, like I would with fantasy.
Trees creaked and danced, swayed by a harsh wind. A lone figure crept through the dark, leafless forest. Its cloak dragged across the ground with a dry sound which masked the movements of it's owner.
A flash of white shot through the night. It was the one bright thing in that place of grey and shadows, this running, leaping, creature of beauty. The cloaked figure slipped behind a tree, with it's hand-like branches reaching out to claw against the sky, to watch what it knew was about to happen.
Branches creaked, snapped and fell, as the thing pursuing the creature of white, with its flashing horn, forged its way towards its prey. It lumbered over the ground, large and slippery looking with grey skin and too big bulbous eyes.
And there is a sample of an attempt at horror. >< Ahem, anyway, are you suggesting that you'd help out?
I still lurk, as of May 2022. Don't think I'm gone.
