Excerpt:
I walked down a
moonlit street. It smelled like smoldering autumn leaves but there was no chill
in the air. Wind slowly blew through the trees and made their leaves whisper.
Everything else was quiet.
The wind curled
around me, but this time it brought a few drops of rain with it. Glancing at
the sky, I noticed clouds gathering over the moon. It dawned on me that I
should get back home and go to bed. I looked around and, for the first time,
realized I wasn’t in my neighborhood. This neighborhood resembled a set from a
musical rather than a real street. The houses were big and imposing, like
something from My Fair Lady. At any moment, I expected to see Rex
Harrison and Audrey Hepburn strolling toward me. The thought of wandering
through an old movie scene, alone, at night caused cold goose bumps to rise on
my arms. Keep it together, Christine. I tried to stay reasonable.
Was it safer to
go back the way I’d come or keep going into unknown territory? I didn’t
remember going for a walk anyway. Basically, turning back was no different than
continuing on. I took another quick scan of the street to see if anyone else
was out. Nothing stirred. Even the wind had deserted me.
I tried to grab
hold of my courage. There had to be a logical explanation for this and it
wasn’t like I could have wandered too far from home. I decided my best bet was
to turn around and go the way I’d apparently come. Maybe something would look
familiar eventually and I’d be snuggled in my bed soon.
I turned and the
wind rushed past my ears. “Christine,” it sighed, producing the effect of ice
water dripping down my spine. The voice was soft, but I had not imagined it.
