The Gargoyle in My Yard
“There were no raccoons fighting or banging garbage cans, no broken dwarves. It was just a still, cold night.
In fact, it was a little too cold. Suddenly the weather had turned chilly. It was definitely autumn.
The cold woke Katherine up on and off, but she didn’t really mind. She liked dozing under her big blanket, toasty and warm while her nose got cold. It felt a little like sleeping outside in the tent when she and her parents went camping. They went to Algonquin Park every August, a...nd sometimes the nights were really chilly that far north.
Around three a.m., Katherine woke to see Milly in her window, growling and twitching her tail again.
“Milly,” she whispered, “shhhhh. I’m trying to sleep. Come here, kitty, come sleep under the warm covers.” She lifted the covers invitingly.
Milly usually slept with her, but not tonight. She stayed put, all her attention trained on the backyard.MoreLess
