Haunted

Author initially had dashes. GG changed to center the type using code which is < div align=center > (take out spaces between the left and right arrows)

She finds kindred spirits
in the spooks that haunt
her vision
when the smoke is thickest
strongest
ethereal
she says
they speak to her
clutch at her
with tendrilous arms,
fingers.

voices

She increases the money
for the tandem effect
keeping her...spirits...
alive
with her own breath

breath, breath, breath

breathe.

Hmmm, I wish there was a way to do the spaces with out dashes. I know it would look really cool, and make it sounds better, but the dashes are a little distracting. Anyway, I like the repitition of breathe at the end. Maybe try posting again with out the dashes? Just to let us see what it's like? Please? Or, I wonder if you can turn it into a picture and post that way? I don't know, whatever, it's probably too much work. I do like this. also maybe finding a different word for spooks? like specters, demons, ghouls? I don't know, it's just one of my favorite things to get synonnyms for.
Great Piece!

Greenie ...There's a way to do it...

Hi, GG is back.... I've taken out the dashes and I've centered the text.
I will build for you guys a list of some cool coding that can be used in the body of your writing. We have refrained from having a WYSIWYG editor on here because they're clunky. But there are about 10 pieces of coding you can use to do what you want....

Greenie, let me know if this is what you wanted.

It's similar, definitely

It's similar, definitely better, but I was attempting to have it as originally done and spaced from the left side of the screen, only without the dashes. However, the centering is definitely useful.
