"The Wages of Sin"

"The Wages of Sin" Ink & Watercolor

I've listened to a broadcast of the "Suspense" show called "Lights Out: Knock at the Door." It's a pretty cool tale of a woman that kills her mother in-law. The ghost of the dead woman appears at night knocking at the basement door. In the end the woman contemplates suicide while sitting on a ladder with a noose around her neck. The ghost of the mother in-law pushes the ladder down, killing the woman.

Thanks for letting me be a part of this blog.

When I read Luke's mention of the old radio show "Suspense" being 'radio's outstanding theater of thrills' I had to check it out. My piece is inspired by one of the broadcasts from the show. The episode was called "The Dead Sleep Lightly" and aired March 30, 1943. No, I wasn't around for it but found a great website that lists all of the episodes with links to recordings of the show. If you're interested in checking out the show, here's a link to this specific episode: http://www.escape-suspense.com/2009/09/suspense-the-dead-sleep-lightly.html.
