Advent
Ghosts 2014 is the sixth annual shared storytelling event at I saw lightning
fall. Every year writers and bloggers come together to celebrate the old
Anglophile tradition of swapping spooky tales of just 100 words.
Finding
the Christmas tree in the cluttered attic was hard enough but made all the more
difficult when the light bulb went out. Relying
on the moonlight from the dormer window, I made my way to where I imagined the tree
to be. A sudden cold draught in the
semi-darkness caused the hairs on the back of my neck to stand on end. My fears increased when something flew close
to my face. Rooted to the spot, my eyes
became accustomed to the gloom and, with great relief, I saw the bird which had
flown in through a broken pane.
