Tremble Again...

The first story this week in Trembling With Fear is A Rain-Faded Photograph by DJ Tyrer. The opening paragraph is a good example of showing and not telling, capturing the mood and atmosphere perfectly. Even before you get to the explicit statement about taking a life, you already know this is what’s happened. This well-crafted story continues in the same vein, painting feelings, pulling you inexorably along to the end.
