This week I’ll be sharing my urban legends WIP. A serial killer murders college students, one by one, based off famous urban legends.
Here’s my excerpt:
The clerk didn’t look up from his computer as he typed away vigorously. “Sure.”
“Please don’t let any maids into my room. I have OCD and want to clean it myself. I’m not saying that your staff isn’t good, but I have very high standards.”
“Of course, Mr. Todd. I’ll note your account.”
***That, my friends, ends the chapter. Looks like the creepy desk clerk escapes Sweeney Todd’s craziness 🙂

I am glad the clerk escaped harm, but I don’t think the other town folk within Sweeney’s reach will be so lucky.
You’re absolute right, Priscilla.

Well, he’ll go undetected for now. So long as the desk clerk does make that note, and on the right room.
Good catch, Jessica. You’ll have to wait and see.

Whew! I hoped he’d escape. That Todd guy is pure evil! And dang, he is calculating, too!
Yeah, he is. A typical characteristic in most of my books haha.

With a madman like Sweeney, escaping him could be partly a matter of luck.
Luck definitely came into play, Ed. You guys will find out if a murder or situation doesn’t involve around an urban legend, then the killer (or killers) won’t waste his (or their) time.

Trouble afoot there. Interesting snippet.
Thanks, Charmaine.

Thank goodness my OCD doesn’t cover up for dead bodies! Loving this, Yawatta!
Thanks, Nancy. The story was fun to write.

The clerk has survived the chapter anyway. lol
Yeah, he’ll definitely be mentioned in later chapters.

Sure wouldn’t want to be the person who finally goes in that room. Good ending for the chapter.
Thanks, Diane.

Well, the clerk might have escaped for now anyway. Your main character is pretty scary! Great snippet.
Thanks, Veronica. There’s definitely more twists and turns.
