Night work?


The night air was damp. And stinky.

It was always the same on nights like this. An eerie green glow filtered through the almost slimy feeling fog that obliterated virtually everything in view. Some patches were clear, but mostly, reality had been swallowed by this murky atmospheric mist.

The Full Moon pierced the dankness, which exacerbated the glow.

The echoing drumming from the distant factory was louder on these nights, as were the groans, shrieks and growls from the nearby woods.

The factory say the fog has nothing to do with their work, but they never mention the disembodied sounds.

    I didn’t know you were in my neighborhood, Tom! Next time, stop in for a beer (if that’s your thing)!

      Will do, CM! If I can find you, that is! And, if I get there, for that matter! 😯

    Spooky – and it may yet come to pass with the cheerful production of toxic wastes that alter living creatures… 🙂

    God Bless!

      It may just do that, Prenin… we just need to look at the weather to see how things are changing… 😉

    Ha ha. They never mention the disembodied sounds because it’s a toxic cover-up. I believe Penin is onto something. 😮
