The House On The Corner The house on the corner of the hill brightly lit all the time as I notice, it has a haunting tale told about it that people believed about it still. Where those unwilling to believe what they saw happening around their homes and their property near were subject to strange disappearances only seeing reality could relieve. They say it only happened at dark and usually around the full moon, the first to disappear was their car a green BMW 735 never to be found as never did they hear their dog bark. Towns people talked it was stolen by a group of rowdy teenage thieves targeting the richer neighborhoods and they would never begin appearing before the bewitching hour of ten. The night of the cars disappearance the house was brightly lit as I saw and the car was there one minute then gone within the blink of an eye I wondered how within just a glance. We had a shared community driveway so it would have been seen driving by but not this night did I see a sign of it after it disappeared out of visions eye this spooky dark and dreary Friday. Their dog disappeared another night as the neighbors were gathered together at their house for a 40th Birthday party and the moon was bright with fullness making the whole neighborhood bright. Once again it was a see one minute gone the next minute disappearing scene as everyone searched through the evening looking everywhere and coming up empty trying to figure out the real culprit. Now we all began fearing the next event wondering what could be the disappearance, no one wanting to admit their own doubts as to the real truth behind these illusions and the consequences that they present. The house on the corner of the hill brightly lit as I see all of the time tells a tale of people not of horror as so many neighbors would believe and continue to carry the tale still. The people who live in this house are in the business of magical illusion making things seem to be realistic when they are really so far fetched that when revealed you see a louse. Only a few neighbors figured it out so the tale still gets spread around like wildfire in a forest to new comers who continue to be intrigued in wonder until even they will also begin to doubt. |

Very interesting tale LD! I was hooked from the very first line...nicely done! Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night. -Edgar Allen Poe |
