This week's Wednesday Wonders features
Haunted by Love
by Zina Abbott
SHORT BLURB:
Turned out by her guardian, Hazel Jessup is sent to live with her
sister she hasn’t seen in over a year. A night spent in the Leavitt’s inn puts
her in contact with the famed specter of the White Lady, a lonely ghost whose
name is Charlotte. Charlotte speaks of a man who is waiting to love her—can it
be Luther Caldwell, the handsome freight wagon driver who is seeing her to her
sister’s home?
EXCERPT:
Hazel knew she had a long day ahead of her the next morning. She decided
she might as well put on her nightgown, brush out her hair and prepare for bed.
She noticed when she walked toward the opposite side of the room to pick up her
valise, the feeling of sadness faded. But, when she walked back toward the
dressing table, it increased slightly. Her curiosity aroused, Hazel once again
walked toward the side window of the room. The feeling of sorrow again
intensified.
“Go away.”
Hazel froze in place. Someone was speaking to her. She quickly stepped
back until she reached bottom corner of the bed. The sense of sadness once
again diminished. But that did not answer the question now in Hazel’s mind. A
tingle of fear coursed through her as she realized she was not alone in the
room.
“Who’s there?”
“Go away. Leave me alone.”
Her legs trembling, Hazel clung to the post at the foot of the
bed. She had heard the voice twice now. Only, it wasn’t a voice she heard. The
words entered her mind as plainly as if someone stood next to her and spoke to
her, but they did not come through her ears first. And, in spite of the two
lamps casting their soft glow throughout the room, she could not see anyone.
