It Watches Me



On dark nights, as dark as dark gets, the only things visible through the shadows of the old trees in Smuggler’s Copse are the bright Moon and two bright yellow glowing orbs. Random things, they are, just hanging there. Like eyes on a portrait in a haunted house that follow you as you cross the room.

These orbs, however, are no paintings. And they are eyes. And they do follow you.

Too large to be a cat or an owl or even a wolf, they stare forward. Hovering above the occasional growl, watching and waiting.

For what? Who knows. Does it know? Whatever it is, I’m sure it does.

However, it doesn’t move.

It just watches and waits.

But not for long. When I see it waiting, I’m away. I don’t want to be food, mate or another.

I just check to see if it’s there. On these dark nights.

      Indeed Amy! I’ve actually been posting them for a while… with the odd one or two even thrown into the mix before October… now, I’m trying to throw some random ‘normal’ posts in within the Halloween ones. It’s all very mixed up around here!
      And I’ve posted a pumpkin face today… it isn’t at all happy though.

      I’m getting used to them now, Prenin.
      That said, I don’t need to get to know them…

    If we don’t hear from you one day, at least we will know where to send someone to look for you, or for your bones perhaps..Smugglers Copse. Remember that everyone! VK

      Please forgive this evil laugh… Mwahaha! 😉

    Perhaps the mind behind those eyes view you as… potential entertainment. Whether that would be a worse fate depends on your attitude, I suppose…

      I would hope that’s how all eyes view me, CM, as entertainment. Not like as food or anything like that, you understand… maybe more so entertaining? Nah. I don’t think many eyes actually notice me. Sigh…
