The Ladies of Horror
Picture-Prompt Writing Challenge!

I’m proud to introduce our youngest Lady of Horror – Asena Lourenco! She’s 10 years old and was inspired to write for this challenge after seeing this image over her mother’s shoulder. Welcome Asena, it’s an honor to share your prose with the world!

The Rusty Old Lock
by Asena Lourenco

As I creeped towards the ancient lock

I heard the clock go ticked-tock

I knew I didn’t have much time to spare

Otherwise I would disappear into thin air.

I jammed the mouldy key into the hole

Before it was too late – from the evil soul.

I knew there wouldn’t be a long life for me

I’d better be quick for that is the key.
