Moira shuddered every time she heard the sound of the bell ringing in the distance. She knew what it meant. They'd taken someone else. She and all the other townspeople would have been furious with Mr. Rivers for what he'd done, probably killed him to be honest, if he hadn't been the first to be taken. Now there was nothing they could do, he'd insulted them somehow and they wouldn't stop until they'd had their revenge.

You could make an entire novel out of this. I might have used a semi-colon instead of a comma in the last sentence, but it doesn't detract from the story. I like it!
ReplyDeleteThis made me shudder, one could feel the potential for it to become real.
ReplyDeleteReminiscent of The Lottery. Very well executed.
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant. The sinister bell bringing revenge on that poor town. I wonder what he did to them. . . very well written creating atmosphere in very few words. x
