The king’s reaction came as predicted. “You shall not be punished, you are too important for the health of the Prince. But Alesander, he is expendable. There is another wizard who will be happy to resume his position in the castle court."
“But that other wizard is the one who I ‘saw’ during my connection with the Prince!”
“That can be remedied.”
“But that ‘other wizard’ cannot be allowed free access to Scotty! You can not send Alesander to his death!” she screamed.

She pounded her fists onto his chest. “But that is not fair and the king should know of it!”
“No! The king should not be corrected in his way of reasoning. He will think it is treason, and you know the punishment for that.”
Yes. Valory did indeed know the punishment for treason. It would be death in the highest degree.

7 Suspenseful Sentences!
After having missed last Sunday due to its slippage from my mind, I'm delivering seven sentences for you from my paranormal suspense work in progress.
"The feat The Master Magician is going to attempt tonight has never been tried, successfully, before. The loudspeaker voice paused for a chilling effect. The crowd hushed and the voice continued into their dreadful silence, “The torture box on the stage, which he will enter, is laced on its inside with steel spikes.”
Two well-poised young women dressed in golden flowing floor-length gowns, which glittered like the mineral itself, gracefully opened the body box and pointed out the piercing pins of silver spikes as the announcer spoke. The ominous spears appeared as numerous needles awaiting a pin cushion. The seemingly braver of the ladies touched the tip on one of the pins, jerked her blood-red fingertip back and gingerly placed it between her pouty lips. Her partner in the show stepped back and stared at the first in shock that she would do such a thing.

7 Suspenseful Sentences!
I hope I'm keeping you in suspense!!
She did not recognize his voice, but it sent shivers through her. Discomfort with the unknown upset her stomach. She wondered why he again didn't look like he liked her, or her name. Instead, he seemed to look at her with the same hatred and distrust of this morning’s chance meeting. His deathly quiet voice sounded that way too. She wondered if she really wanted to know why he had changed so, in the space of an instant, by the sound of her mere name. In spite of herself, she cocked her head and asked, "Is there something wrong with my name?

He ignored her and looked into the room where he saw the slain vampire on the floor beside her. "Come with me.”
Fern looked around the cool dark room she stood in, and then followed. What else could she do?
The look in his eyes when she entered the room he had gone into told her what he meant to do.

Today's 7 Suspenceful Sentences!
Hi All!
My suspenseful 7 sentences for today are from an as yet untitled work.
ENJOY!
As soon as I arrived, I sensed something wrong. Everything looked normal, but something just wasn’t right. I cracked the door open a pinch. “Hello?” I queried. Silence answered in its sinister absence. Gathering my courage, I pushed the door completely open, and screaming filled the air. It wasn’t until I needed to take a breath of air that I realized I had been the one screaming.

I Survived the Haunted Castle!!
Manresa Castle, located in picturesque Port Townsend, Washington is a treasure to behold. Upon entering the castle for my Olympia RWA chapter’s writer’s retreat, I found myself in another time. Everything in the castle (besides the contemporary necessities) is from the era of the castle’s original splendor.
I loved the castle’s antique atmosphere, but what I really wanted to experience were the ghosts that the castle is famous for! There are tales of the young woman who cast herself from a castle window, to her death, when she heard that her fiancé had been drowned at sea. Then there’s the tale of the Jesuit priest who hanged himself in a castle turret after he became disillusioned with his calling. And there’s the little girl who wanders the hall. Perhaps she is looking for a playmate?
On our first night there, we took a tour of each other’s rooms to see what they looked like because each of the bedrooms in Manresa is different. (Well, I guess that’s why the rest of us toured the rooms. Me? I was looking for a ghost!) In one two bed bedroom, two beautiful antique chairs sat facing the beds’ feet. I mentioned the ghosts who could be sitting there to watch the bed’s occupant during the night and I was told by Chassily, the room’s sole occupant due to circumstances beyond her control, that she did not want to talk to me any more! LOL! We even toured the tower where the priest is said to have hung himself!
That first night in our bedroom I was awakened by what I assumed was a ghost and I mentioned it to my boyfriend. He didn’t say anything and went back to sleep. The nerve! But I wasn’t frightened and lay there listening. First the ghost made clacking sounds outside the bedroom window. I got up to look out the window, but of course there was no one there. Then the ghost went out into the hall outside our bedroom and began to play out there! I assumed it was the little girl playing with things that made clacking sounds. And then I went back to sleep. When I shared my fun story with the rest of our chapter the next day, my boyfriend had the gall to tell everyone that the ghosts got quieter each time he turned the heater down! He NEVER turned the heater down! (To my knowledge.)
There was one friendly spirit who insinuated her presence there in front of us all. A small piece of paper with her name on it fell to the floor from one of our chapter president's paperwork to remind us of her. She was Elizabeth Kistler, a past chapter member who died of cancer last year. On that sign, we named our annual retreat after her.
The weekend went much quieter after my first night there and I learned a lot and got a lot of writing done. I received some excellent critique from Nicole on a contest entry that I was fighting a deadline on and I met the deadline with it!
They were there! I know it! But I didn’t see any ghosts.

This Week's Suspenseful 7 Sentences!
I'm going to have to incorporate Clay into a story. but enough of that! LOL!
This week's seven suspenseful sentences come from a future fantasy work in process of mine. it takes place in the distant future. ENJOY!!
The Year 3510 -
“How did I ever get myself into this mess?” Tracey wondered aloud. She wrapped her arms around the sheer fabric of the dressings she wore, and shivered in the cold holo-house “They” kept her in. They had left her alone so far, which was fine; she preferred it that way. She hoped they would continue to do so until she could find a way out. Water dripped somewhere, and Tracey wished, for the millionth time, that she could see.
Footsteps echoed in the darkness.
“I’m not who you think I am,” Tracy called out into the void.

It was CLAY!!
My bf and I attended a Wine Pairing Dinner last night. All went well until I asked said bf to check, with his cell that has all kinds of fun attachments on it, and see if any ghosts were present. It did detect one ghost who told us, via said cell, that his name was “Clay.” Needless to say, Clay decided that he would choose me to pick on all night.
At the beginning of the evening, while we enjoyed our scrumptious meal and the tasty wines delivered with each portion of it, Clay was well mannered and did not bother me. With three small glasses in front of me, I decided which wine was my favorite and set it aside to enjoy last. I sipped down the other two glasses and reached for the third, and that’s when Clay decided to step into my evening.
The glass I looked for, which had been sitting directly in front of me, was gone! (Not to say that I had already drank it and had forgotten, because everyone else at the table noticed too.) It was the neighbor sitting beside me who first noted that it had been Clay who had taken it. I promptly agreed that she was probably right and went back to my meal.
It was when I had finished my dinner that I noticed the empty glass that had been missing had returned to its place on the table and was empty! I pointed it out to everyone else, who enjoyed Clay’s prank.
I hope Clay enjoyed his glass of Sherry.

Today's 7 . . . Suspenceful . . . Sentences
My 7 Suspenseful Sentences today come from my first effort at placing pen to paper, so to speak. This scene takes place before my heroine meets her ghostly hero.
Excerpt:
Cassie took her time as she wandered through the old house. Its floors groaned in implied warning as she passed over them. The walls themselves spoke to her in muted whispers. A chill traversed her spine. She stopped in mid-step and cast her vision down the seemingly endless hall she stood in. Intermittent cobwebs spanned the ceiling’s length. Antique lighting fixtures dangled with forlorn effort from the dusty walls.
