The Night Breeze
Dave gives you an odd look, "are you kidding?"
"No." In your mind you wish you were kidding.
"O.K. Whatever you say. See you later." Dave gets on his
bike. Before pedeling away he stares back at you. "Are you
sure?" You hand gestures toward the curving road. Dave gives you
another serious look then peddles down the road.
Bye, you think to yourself. You sit back down on the stump where you
had just first sat on. The chill in the night sky makes hair on your
arms stand up on the end of your arms. You put your arms around hoping
that you will become warmer, but it only sends a chill down your back.
Maybe it would be warmer in that haunted house you think to
yourself.
You gulp, "leave without me."
