October 12: Entry 13

It was a pretty calm day. All of the neighborhood children were being very genial today. Fall is rapidly approaching and they are enjoying one of the last few warm days before it arrives. The mothers are indoors baking goodies for their young and the fathers are outside raking up the beginning of the fallen leaves. 'Tis a lovely day. You can hear the light-hearted laughter of the children as they race to tag one another. No fights and no screams of terror can be heard. It's a very good day. The benevolent senior citizens are sitting on their porches enjoying the light breeze. Mothers bring out lemonade or Kool-aid for the children. The fathers are heading indoors to wash up and then enjoy some good old television. The mothers go back in and start up dinner for their families. The kids head home for the night ready to get some food in their stomachs and head for bed. But is there something lurking in the darkness? An unforeseen phantom that's going to find someone somewhere at the wrong time and capture them and keep them for all eternity, committing them to their horrible army of the undead?
