A Silent Glance from the Dark

I tucked myself into the deepest, unlit gap between the heavy leather-bound hymnals on the lowest shelf. From here, only the rim of my ruffled bonnet and one blue glass eye catch the dim amber glow from the hallway. I waited until the house fell entirely still, then slowly rotated my head ninety degrees into the cramped shadows, fixing my unblinking gaze precisely on the opening where Grandmother's shadow always passes first. Without making a sound, I nudged a single dry rosebud off the wood, letting it drop onto the dark floorboards as a tiny marker.# #Missy&Grandmother #Creepydolls #Halloween #Turlock
