Oh my, what a charming, melancholic tale. I had nothing in mind, just a fascination with the picture; you have triumphed I’m giving it life. Thank you🎶

Thank you, thank you. I'm so glad you liked it :-D
When I picked it I had no idea of what I was going to do with it. The picture intrigued me, so I had to have it.

Edited to add - I've added a video of 'The Danse macabre' for two pianos, just that everyone can hear what it sounds like.

You created a strong sense of atmosphere that made the reader feel as if they were in that decaying house with our boys. Lovely work.

Love is funny, it can be passing or forever--this story is that latter one. You incorporated the picture chosen to show on love lives on. Nicely done

Very nice story, just the right amount of spookiness. Thanks for including the music, too.

Thank you so much :-)

It's one of my favourite pieces of music (though I prefer it with violins).

Wow, how creepy and I loved that it was Napoleon who saw the vision, not Illya. So well done! Thanks for being part of the challenge.

Thank you!
I decided that it would be Napoleon purely because my other story centered around Illya.

It was a good balance and a brilliant use of the prompt. You should really write more!
