Nicole, spooky! Now I have the shivers.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Nicely shivery, Nicole. Sly punch at the end.
Sail, yours was just very sad and angry.
Nice ones.

I'm getting the pig!
Thanks, again. I'm glad you guys liked it. I almost didn't post it. I let a friend read it before I posted - I was trying to see if it made sense to people that aren't inside my head - and his comment was something along the lines of, "Eh. It's ok."
So, phew!

Your friend probably doesn't like Flannery O'Connor or even The Sixth Sense, Nicole.

That was my thought, too. I like those little "gotcha" moments. Especially if they're spooky.

Great drabble, Nicole; the friend you asked to read it obviously has no taste.

God yes. With the lighting and everything in the photo, your drabble is absolutely fucking perfect. Gives me chills every time.
