I love this thesaurus! How cool. Basements always come with so much imagery...usually kinda creepy. I love this entry.

Bish, I don't know for sure, but i think it's the idea were underground, like in a coffin. The dark walls, the cold, the dank smells...CREEPY.

Thanks Robyn (and I didn't know it was called a utility room--neat!)

Thanks Kelly. Hah, I love the idea of sweet ol grannies having dark double lives, and so it comes out in my posts!

Mary, if there is one thing I love about living in Canada, it is the fact that we have no roaches. They can't survive the winter. I like bugs, but roaches? *shudders*

This reminds me of what a chore it was to clean out our old basement. Nothing I did to it got rid of the smell of mold or mouse droppings. (But don’t forget the cockroaches! Wish I could…)

Below in the darkness the washing machine slurped and sloshed and burped, like a monster enjoying a tasty meal.

Oh Angela, that is a TERRIFIC use of a sentence. As a kid, that is what I thought when going out to the utility room(that's what they're called in South Florida) in the dark and the washer was in use.

I love the setting Thesaurus. Thanks! :)

Why is it so many basements are spooky? I’ve only known a few in my life, and all of them held an eerie aura.
