Sadly, Sara hung herself
Nearly twenty years ago
in the student lounge.
at Warrensburg.

Today, when most are gone for the holiday,
She is seen as a ghastly light
and heard beating on the bolted steel door
that leads to the dorm nearby.

Travis heard the beating two years ago,
and saw the pale light in the lounge.
With caution he opened his door
to gaze upon Sara as she floated
through the bolted door and down the hall.

She heard Travis too and turned
on unseen legs to see who called.
He saw no clear face, he said,
but still she ran, or floated, back
down the hall with outstretched arms
as if to greet her new lover.

Travis closed his door in a big hurry.

Did he think a mere door would stop her? LOL

Sorry... I was all prepared to be sad and ended up grinning at our all too human instincts... like this much! *S*

Let's just say Travis was one scared puppy.

I was never fortunate enough (if that's the word) to behold the lass.....but this does take me back....

Thanks, old friend, for this little timewarp.
