A Black Shadow
Barb screams, her face turning red. Tears roll down her face as she
relizes the horrible truth. Dave is dead.
You turn from Dave's lifeless body, fighting tears. However, you
soon notice tears dripping onto the floor. You lift your hand to wipe
them away. Your face is completely dry! You gape at the tiny, salty
drops, now being absorbed by the wood. A great coldness sweeps over
you. Where did they come from? Barb is behind you, and Dave- well...
Just then you hear a scream from Barb. Starteled, you glace up. A
black shadow sweeps across the giant entry room and into the dining
room. Even though you only saw it for a moment, you remember it so
well.
You caught a face in the dark figure. Frowning, it stared forth with
bitter eyes. A horrible weeping filled the room. It glided smoothly
into the room. You feel drawn toward it. You take a step toward the
old, battered dining hall.
