First Chapter First Paragraph Thursday Intros ~ Sleep Tight by J.H. Markert

The Boy coloured so hard the black crayon snapped in half in his hand.
This wasn’t uncommon with that color.
He remembered the darkness around those eyes was thick, and only the right amount of pressure could reproduce that deep, dark black.
From his seat on the hardwood floor, he pulled another black crayon from the bucket beside him and resumed coloring, furiously, hurriedly – he could hear that Mother was on her way up.
He’d done something bad, and she was mad.
And when she was mad, she got mean. But he couldn’t remember what he’d done this time.

Review for Horror Hotel
“It’s shimmering,” she says, her voice low. “Like the hotel itself isn’t all here at once, all at the same time.” + “Blood drips down the elevator doors and pools over the tile floor of the lobby. The doors open, and it’s raining blood, staining the carpet and mirrored walls inside the elevator car.”
