A fog awaits beyond the meadow, looming dark against a fading sky. Still against the death of breeze, awaiting the gust which stirs the waking night. Quiet surrounds the shadows, large against the now fading moon, soon the night shall blanket the earth, soon the fog shall wander the beaten path, soon the gray of night shall darken the worn path into the brambles and briars beyond the wooden hedge.... Buried there, there in this place of solemn slumber, of rest that stirs upon nights of the fog.Souls of those who waken to wander, to walk among the stillness of night’s eve. Faint, one’s heart to climb the wooden walk, to drop onto the hallowed grounds of those that once rested. Faint, one’s soul that they might be whisked into darkness,carried screaming to their own place of slumber. Tread lightly the night when fog blankets all the earth and quiets the fowl and beast. Let not the breath of fear expel, for beyond the curtain awaits the guest, one who stands beyond the gate of destiny...beyond the realm of reality and dreams. |

"Quiet surrounds the shadows, large against the now fading moon, soon the night shall blanket the earth, soon the fog shall wander the beaten path, soon the gray of night shall darken the worn path into the brambles and briars beyond the wooden hedge...." (could feel this) "Tread lightly the night when fog blankets all the earth and quiets the fowl and beast. Let not the breath of fear expel, for beyond the curtain awaits the guest, one who stands beyond the gate of destiny...beyond the realm of reality and dreams." this is so completely cool! really enjoyed this |

It made me have cold chills and made me not want to look behind me over my shoulder. |
