Frightening Things

FRIGHTENING THINGS

i’m in the chapel
       it’s night    the room is empty
                              loud c minor chord!

old mansion
    boarded-up
         chimney smoking

ruined mansion
    boarded-up
        window lit near the top

piano recital
moonlight sonata
mouse!

my roommate 
    weird smile
        unusual eye teeth

Michelle Mac Donald Date: 5/29/2012 10:35:00 AM Oh Daver, you had me laughing LOL I guess that sweetling must almost have felt like one of the "frightening things" when she looked at you with eyes like emeralds embedded in moss? You crack me up!!:)) In reality Mognome was a tiny painted turtle...having no resemblance to any of those characters. I"m still giddy..hehe Best wishes, Love, Mikki Login to Reply
