Fog obliterated dawn. In our ten years, we’d never seen mist like this. Muffling the world like a thick snowfall. A person at arm’s length, just a blur.
Eagerly, we set out across the meadow. Talking loudly, to show the fog we feared it not.
Suddenly it loomed. Big and dark. Stopping us cold.
The old mansion, so pale and unassuming in the sunlight.
Silently we crept up the porch. The old house creaking and sighing around us.
An icy gust made something keen.
A chair moves.
A white shape seen through the windows.
Billowing fabric.
Coming closer.
We ran.

The world according to RedCat 
Great atmospheric piece, provoking fear.
Atmospheric was the word that came to my mind too
Evocative 100 words, I picture a group of kids and their imaginations running wild.
Wonderfully descriptive! Really took me there.
Love the imagery of “the old house creaking and sighing around us.” The “icy gust” was a nice touch too.
This is beautifully written
