In The Night
She awoke with a start. The room was silent. She didn't know what had
awoken her, but something inside her warned of danger. She sat up and and looked about.
something was amiss. Everything in her small room looked as it always had. Nothing but
a simple dresser in the corner, her bed, and a nightstand. She walked to the window and
looked out to the stable. From her room she could hear the horses. something was
spooking them. She lit a candle and walked to the children's room. It was a small house,
and her son and daughter had to share a room. Still asleep... maybe she was only
imagining it. As she started to return to her room, she heard a horse whine. Maybe there
was just some animal mulling about outside the stable. It could be nothing more than
that. Still, the stories shed been hearing worried her. What could it hurt to check.
She walked to the door, put on her fur cloak, and stepped outside. Cold. The air was
unnaturally cold for this time of summer. The horses whined again. something was wrong.
She hurried across the yard to the stable, her eyes darting to every sound she heard.
There was no animal as far as she could tell, yet all the horses were restless. It had to
be something... something. A loud, long cry pierced the night. She turned... it was her
daughters cry. She dropped the candle and ran. Every yell from her children made her run
even faster as she ran to the house. There was light coming from inside the house. Why
was there light. She ran into the house and to her children's room... and she screamed.
It was in that moment that she knew what it was that had awoken her, what had chilled the
night and spooked the horses. Something had visited their home that night. Death, had
visited them that night.
