The Devil's Footprints Mystery

It snowed all night; I woke to white, without a sound, no one around, but then I saw the footprints in the snow. Whose prints they were I didn't, couldn't know; they were not mine, all in a line, for miles on end. I won't pretend I didn't shiver (it was snowing though...) written 20th November for Robert's Wonderstruck contest

OOhoo! It would make me want to know where they came from but not enough to follow them. Kind of runs a chill up your back and makes your hair stand up a little. Great write Jack. God Bless, JB

Reads like a good contender for the contest. Way to go. I enjoyed reading it. I see you lived to write the poem so it did not get you and take you off. Thanks for the visits to my page. Sara
