Scarlet Creature

This is the kind of creature that goes out into the night to steal bricks to build its' niche. It more than crosses a courtesy line. Happens more in the winter;other seasons just fly by. Swift as the bitter wind the creatures must move as the gypsies do. They must borrow as the thieves pulling out every trick up each sleeve. Maddened by the stars, they follow them like arrows of direction. Cheaters! Must be nice having nature direct their worst behavior. The Harlot Scarlet of the night is so beautiful any family would give away their hard earned bread, their last. Clearly getting robbed impeccably as it goes without notice. But what is seen is never told in eyes of gold. Another win for creatures of night.
