The last of the "Hall" stories for a while.

<><><><>

The laughter has all died away,
It's almost like a healing balm;
It's daylight, skies are turning gray,
In the hall it is deathlike calm.

I'll get up on my feet and stand,
Although I feel I've been embalmed;
With daybreak I don't feel so grand,
In the hall it is deathlike calm

Very good, Jerry
I have enjoyed these little blips of your life, that you have been posting.

About things that went bump, sometimes in your nights.

"A deathlike calm", similar to a deafening silence, something's stirring... enjoyed JP, ms. e.
