Well, a half-life anyway.
One of my favorite writers to run stories by on the Podcast That Dares is MR James, and my favorite of those stories (so far) has been "The Ash Tree." It's a really creepy tale about skulking creatures in the night, and the ending does not disappoint. And what Jonathan has done is extremely simple, yet it totally works--he's got an image of a foggy manor house at night that is subtly animated, and that's the only visual.*
It's something I wish I were capable, not only due to its effect, but its simplicity. Anyway, give it another listen RIGHT HERE. Thanks, Jonathan!
*Other than burned-in subtitles, unfortunately.
