Comments on 'Rapt audience'I jerked awake to The Voice, that horrid Voice that over the days? weeks? dominated my existence.
"Go-o-d can't hear you!" the Voice said with that dry, nasty chuckle. I had come to know it as the bane of my existence and the source of my deepest terrors.
I was sure that The Voice was the Devil himself or an understudy who had a particular penchant for the most sublime of tortures. I could only hope that The Voice wasn't talking to me.
I strained my ears, listening for any clue as to what horror the next moment might bring. I couldn't see and hadn't been able to since my arrival. On that day, I'd tried to blink and realized that they'd taken my eyes.
I couldn't move. My hands were bound to my sides on some sort of contraption that left me in an almost crucified position. Immobile and blind, all I had was my hearing and my knowledge of what that Voice could bring.
The heavy footsteps echoed in their hollow fashion as The Voice walked away. My sigh was loud, but the quiet sobs from elsewhere were louder.2008-06-21T23:35:10Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/30713Comment on Rapt audience<p>Not only could this be a victim’s point of view, it could almost be a dream/nightmare of Gordo’s. That’s how I see it, anyway.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/30713?basename=728532008-06-21T23:35:10Zg2 (la pianista irlandesa)http://ficlets.com/authors/spanishpiano701Comment on Rapt audience<p>I agree with Kermitgorf and everyone else.

I enjoyed the footsteps of the voice walking away at the end, it gives me the sense that this thing is more substantial than just a voice and possibly more powerful, even though we can’t actually see it, we hear it’s heavy body hoof away.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/30713?basename=641942008-05-22T22:58:58ZTad Winslowhttp://ficlets.com/authors/tjdComment on Rapt audience<p>Since I went ahead and just kept the flow going off of yours, I thought I’d let you know a sequel is up. ‘Pretty Things’ continues.</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/30713?basename=631572008-05-18T18:34:09ZTHX 0477http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477Comment on Rapt audience<p>Ooh, great job keeping up the creepy factor and even taking it up a notch or two. I appreciate this victim’s point of view. And you left it just open enough I think I can continue the series with this left in. Nicely done and thanks for adding a sequel!</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/30713?basename=628032008-05-16T18:13:46ZTHX 0477http://ficlets.com/authors/thx_0477
