Strangely Odd

A bit of a strange person who lived quietly even secretly none of his neighbours really knew him except to nod in passing he would scurry by with barely a nod in return almost mincing never a light did they see in his home the windows shining blankly Strange sounds were often heard like he was talking in guttural tones but to whom was never known, perhaps they thought to himself it was all just so odd, some people swore that he was a elf whatever he was people swore that they had seen a lot of bones The type that came from small animals some littering his yard and neighbourhood pets had been vanishing at a most alarming rate at last they felt something need to be done, their curiosity to sate breaking down his door they found no-one just some papers charred In the middle of the floor lay a cocoon where it seemed he slept glowing with an eerie light that pulsed as if it was alive looking at it closer it became most apparent it was a hive full of pulsing eggs they torched it as this they could not accept I watched a documentary about if there are already aliens already living here on earth This is the first part of an on going story there are so far two other parts

I like reads like these they are up for grabs by the reader at the ending! How about if something passes by houses at night in a blur? The mystery to a poem sometimes is more powerful than the facts. Good job, clever.

A very interesting write. I agree with Richard, I think there is more to the story, and a sequel would be great! Wonderful storytelling, Shadow! :)
