'Tis the season for some good scares. So, in keeping with October's tradition of all things frightening, I am once again sharing snippets from Pianissimo. What better way to celebrate Halloween than with a paranormal story?!

This post is part of an ongoing blog hop hosted by Weekend Writing Warriors. Every Sunday, participating authors post eight sentences from a published work or even a WIP (work in progress). Then we hop to our fellow warriors’ blogs and check out all the fabulous fiction that’s happening! It's a great way to meet readers, writers, and your next favorite book! :)
Background on the snippet:
Corinne has just discovered the old, dilapidated piano in the basement of her new home while she waits for some service men to deliver a new washer and dryer.
Snippet edited to fit in 8 sentences:
She walked over to it. She could only imagine the beautiful music that had once been played on the old piece. She softly touched it. A burst of a cold sensation struck her hand and raced up her arm. Corinne immediately dropper her hand. The cold feeling was gone.
She was struck by a burst of energy while she continued to stare at the piano.
“Hello,” a man’s voice echoed down the stairs.
Hope you liked it!
Happy reading!

Yikes! Is the man's voice otherworldly? You conveyed a very eerie sensation wonderfully.
Ah, a haunted piano--the best kind. Let's hope it's just the ghost of Beethoven or Chopin.
Love old pianos, but that one puts out a creepy vibe. Maybe it's just the location? And a stranger wandering into the house at that moment?
A haunted piano. There's got to be a story there.
