It was early
morning and I was walking alone in the gardens on campus. The low angle of pale light and lengthened
shadows underscored details and shapes in the stonework.
I got that
feeling I was being watched.
I thought I saw a Spooky Gray
Face.
I started seeing
gray faces everywhere.
“I ate his liver
with some fava beans and a nice chianti.”
“We all go a
little mad sometimes.”
“They’re
us. We’re them and they’re us.”
“They’re all
going to laugh at you!”
“Oh, Yes, there
will be blood!”
“Listen to them,
the children of the night.
What sweet music
they make.”
“When there’s no
room in Hell, the dead will walk the Earth.”
I hurried away
from the gray faces.
Then I heard a rustling
behind me I turned and saw yet ANOTHER gray face.
For some reason
this one didn’t seem so scary.
“Hi, I’m Chucky,
wanna play?”
UM...where did I stash that Holy Hand Grenade?

Hhhahahahahahahahahhaa! You're brilliant. And you even got a Carrie reference in there, too. (Sometimes my daughter reminds me of Chucky, very frightening). That looks like a gorgeous-ly spooky place to visit.
"Be afraid. Be very afraid." Have you seen that killer rabbit in Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail"?
Of all those movies, Chucky was the creepiest. Something about dolls coming alive....
The stones are really pretty. We don't have anything in our little town as lovely. The last little guy is perfect...makes me think of the family that lives at our upper end.

What a great (and scary!) walk. I sadly recognised only the Silence of the Lambs quote!

What is it about statues that makes me afraid to be near them in the dark.
