The Man in Black: a Ghost Story
“I’d seen John and Violet that same afternoon, putting out the grub alongside a small dish of water.
I’d slept better. The wind howled outside, an epitome of rage. The snow had stopped and it rained instead, washing the dirty white away, making room for a new Spring. Sunlight shone through the soot on the windows, though more brown than bright. The dog had finished his dinner by the time I went to the kitchen and finished off my cup of coffee. He sat in the rain, ears down. I looked out at h...im, his saddened eyes swollen and lost-looking.
I was wearing my underwear and not much else, but I went outside anyway.
The rain hit me harder than I thought it would, attacking my hair first. It poured down my face as I kneeled down with the dog. I pulled the wet hair away from my cheeks as I petted the animal, pulling myself close to him as if to bear all the warmth I had to give.
He cried a little at first, but I got him to follow me to the alley.MoreLess
