whippledaddy 5 Posted November 1, 2005 Okay, here's a little Halloween present for you all: It’s the end of October, and darkness hurries to evict the daylight. Yards are blanketed with leaves, hillsides blaze with color. The wind swirls outside, windows rattle, the sky is as grey as ashes. Clouds scud Eastward seeking tomorrow’s sun. If you dare, if you are foolish enough to go outside, the wind will tug at your hair, begging you to come play. But it sings with a voice that is more like a dirge. The night is darker now than it was at the end of a summer day. The walk from car to house is long, and (even if you are a grown up), a little......frightening. Your steps speed up as you approach your door. You fumble for your keys, and struggle to use the lock, rendered invisible in the darkness. It’s easy now to imagine swift footfalls coming up behind you and hot breath at the back of your neck. It’s almost second nature to wonder if you saw movement in the shadows. Even the October wind seems to whisper your name. Finally the key finds the lock. You feel foolish as you bolt your door behind you. You are inside. Home. Safe. The October world is out there. Here your lamps cheer you, and you head to the kitchen to make a cup of tea. But...... Wait..... Was that a noise........Upstairs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
