Nightfall
It's midnight. The Witching Hour. But there's no such thing as a
witch, is there? And no ghosts, demons, vampires, zombies, or other
things dead and ugly, are there?
Still, demons and gremlins or no, this time of night gives you the
creeps. It's the time when burglars come out and steal things. It's
the time when gangsters come out and mug people. It's the time when
everything bad comes out to haunt you.
A movement from a bush. Are you afraid to check it out? No. It's just
a stray cat. No harm in looking.
The cat is scrawny and looks weak, but it is not declawed. Should you
pick it up?
You are walking home from your best friend's house down the street.
You were going to spend the night, but you forgot your sleeping bag
and want to go get it.
