Ashen & Gideon
Gideon
Ashen, have you ever noticed how the most haunting lines often surface when the shadows slip just behind the words?
Ashen
Yeah, the scariest lines hide in the pauses, where the dark just tips over the edge of the sentence. It’s like the silence itself starts to bleed.
Gideon
Exactly, the pause is the ghost’s breath, but remember, the ghost only has power if you give it space to speak. Use the silence to sharpen the line, not to let it swallow the story.
Ashen
Yeah, give the ghost a mic, not a vacuum. Let the silence cut sharp, not swallow the whole line.
