Trees creaked in the strong and overwhelming wind of the night. I really wish I could go out there for a walk. Things sneaking up on you. Not being able to see them in the unforgiving darkness that surrounds you, just doesn't sit right with me. I truly did love the night and the silence of it, but know all I hear when I open the patio doors are the shrieking chuckles of witches that live in the forest behind me. Not exactly what you would expect from a history of peace in this neighborhood.
On a hot, but soothing summer evening, when it was just a shadow of the day left behind. Going for a casual walk, would relieve some of the stress I had been given and then accepted from school, this particular walk would forever and always interrupt my life. For me that night transformed the peaceful darkness into a lonely scary underworld that always seem to stalk you. Though it may seem this is plain stupid and dumb, run. While you still can, the saying "never leave a man/woman behind" wont occur in this act. I hide when the sun begins to go down, the only time I'm ever out and the time my life long dreams orbits around is 12:00 pm, noon. When the sun has reached its highest point in the sky. The thought of going out at dusk never reached my mind again.
As a year suddenly passed me by, it was becoming more noticeable that I a 14 year old was unable to visit nature when it reached it's point of fullness. I had to someway come up with a solution to overcome this dreading fear. There probably was never going to be any hope for me but I soon came to the conclusion of telling my best friends. We decided to go out on Halloween. Yes, the most scariest time for the dead to rise, and the witches to awaken. This drastic measure had to be withdrawn. There was no way I could live my life at its fullest dragging this awful nightmare at my back. For that memory would always be there interrupting my dream, and life of becoming reality.
