No sound, no answer In silence I sat ... suddenly felt someone stroking my hair through Ice cold fingers which had a nasty smell Now I was really scared I hurried in from the woodshed with wood and fired up in the fireplace Stuffed my hands in the pockets it was still so cold There .... I felt the tooth from the cemetery Looked at it from the fireplace light A powerful knock on the windowpane I turned to see You will not believe what I saw A face pressed against the window, a face that I had never seen before He had red hair and lots of beard The face scared me ... He started to laugh a scary laughter with open mouth Now I could see ... he lacked an incisor I walked a little closer to the window, but then the face in the window diseappered I felt I had done something wrong Decided to go back to the graveyard with the tooth The darkness and the fear took me as I approached the gate The laughter came back, he stood there waiting for me I placed the tooth gently down at the gate He just looked at me and laughed again the frightening laughter It is many years since this happened to me but I remember it like it was yesterday One autumn night many years after I awoke with a cold hand on my forehead I heard the laughter, saw his face and red hair long beard .... but he lacked no teeth - A story written by A-L Andresen 1973 :) (17.01.2015) Copyright © All Rights Reserved
