Meditations

The adventures of an autodidact
ghoulnextdoor: “A midnight visitor” from Garth Nix’s “SABRIEL”, by Kali Ciesemier Dreamed of a quiet evening at home.  There was snow on the ground and my cat lay at my feet gently snoozing.  There was a tremendous pounding from the front door, and as I had not been been expecting anyone, I was obviously quite startled.  When I opened the door and saw that no one was there and the streets were quite empty I became very nervous. I bolted the door and from the corner of my eye I saw a fleeing shadow.  I knew then that in an instant…maybe when my back was turned, or maybe if I had taken a second to yawn, or blink…the intruder had slipped past my notice.  The phone rang.  The lights went out.

Dreamed of a quiet evening at home.  There was snow on the ground and my cat lay at my feet gently snoozing.  There was a tremendous pounding from the front door, and as I had not been been expecting anyone, I was obviously quite startled.  When I opened the door and saw that no one was there and the streets were quite empty I became very nervous.

I bolted the door and from the corner of my eye I saw a fleeing shadow.  I knew then that in an instant…maybe when my back was turned, or maybe if I had taken a second to yawn, or blink…the intruder had slipped past my notice. 

The phone rang.  The lights went out.
