Alberto's Eerie Photograph
A
photo
was taken
by my friend of
a house he’d looked at.
Once it was developed,
he noticed in the window. . .
the faces of frightened children
peering out! Magnified, that photo
showed towering behind them. . . a demon.

(this is the true story of my friend Alberto’s photograph
which he took while house-hunting many years ago.
Disappointingly, he has since misplaced it. But I saw it
with my own eyes. I even had it saved in my old e-mail account
which unfortunately I’ve closed! It was the closest I ever came to
seeing something supernatural. Even inside the house, though
there was no indication of anyone with them, Alberto’s small child
kept saying “El coco,” Spanish for Boogeyman!)
