Coach and company
Christmas Eve, and the Coach & Horses was just starting to liven up. Only when I opened the door did I realise what day it was. Up until that point I had managed to avoid the dreaded pre-Christmas festivities. Opening the door let loose a wall of sound: excited conversation, laughter and yuletide merriment. To hell with all that! Realising my mistake, I was about to close the door again and turn away when someone bustled past me and nearly knocked me off my feet. I ended up in a fluster and was going to curse the offender when I heard a “Well look who it ain’t!” Glancing up, I caught Bob’s eye and could hardly leave now. He’d probably want me to buy him a pint.

Behind the Last Window It was a dark and stormy night, the kind that made you want to curl up under a blanket and never leave your bed again. The wind howled and the rain pounded against the windows, as if trying to find a way inside.

Behind the Last Window The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. She had never stepped foot beyond the walls of the compound, but the window offered a tantalizing glimpse of the world beyond. The sky was always a bright blue, the trees a deep green, and the grass a vibrant shade of yellow. It was as if the window was a portal to another world, one that was far more beautiful and inviting than the one she knew.

Every night at midnight, the purple clouds came out to dance with the blushing sky. A beautiful sight, giving lie to the dangers that appeared shortly after the clouds lit up the blackness, drowning out the stars and moon.

Whenever my humble shop door opens, it’s time for my scintillating performance. A homely bell welcomes my guest. It chimes on its own accord, untouched by the door. Snow waltzes in the open entryway, for just a moment, before a short girl emerges. She’s breathless from the cold. I crouch back into the shadows. Behind a looming bookcase I surrender to licking back a few strands of frizzy hair on my paws. There’s no need to alarm my visitor straight away. Let her browse.

Hello Again
“My vision was blurry. The lights above and around carried their tails to one end to the other. Back and forth just like the chatter amongst voices I could not recognize. It was quite haunting in thought, but I felt warm. The warmth was unexplainable, not the depths of my body but in my spirit. My body felt numb and too stiff to move and when I did, these numb hands would caress and pin me down. I flared around further fear but did so with a smile, I think. I felt closer to home. I laid there fighting the beating of the drum. One after another. It got louder and perhaps more sinister, but the feeling of vibration kept the same. Ringing in my ears became louder with the drums. My eyes heavy but distinct voices became audible at this point, telling me to stay awake. I was afraid to go to sleep, but sleep was what I needed. I’ve had sleep paralysis before, so I didn’t think this was any different. The vibrational feeling became very loud and felt it in the warmth of my body to a point I was going to explode. My eyes then blinked slowly till they closed shut.
