Night Owl

It flies and settles on a tree branch, waiting for fish to pop out of the lake, to enjoy the moonlight. A group of kids sits around a bonfire, trembling with fright, as they keenly listen to the owl's hooting. "The bogeyman is being ushered in...." one of the kids says, with a breaking tone...... Contest: Night Owl
