10:30

by Mark Tompkins

Gillian moves into a historic house. Shortly thereafter, she begins to receive pictures of it posted on her social media site, always at 10:30 p.m. The posts initiate from her account, but she is not sending them. Thinking her account was hacked, she changes her password, but the pictures keep coming. Eventually the pictures show the inside of the house, some with her in them. She is being stalked, but by whom...or what. The previous tenant's history and the purchase of an antique camera may hold the answers, but that knowledge may not change her fate.

Damn what a creep factor 10:30 has. Not a story to read at bedtime. I love the way it pulls you in and gives you a sense of impending dread. Definitely a great add to your tbr list.
