After closing her shop for
the day, Shana checked outside for any lingering shadows. She’d been having the
feeling that someone was playing with her mind. She didn’t know if she was
being paranoid, but she could feel the evil spreading through Oasis. The only
reason she was attending the party tonight was to keep a watchful eye on her
friends and to make sure that no one wandered off by themselves. If there was a
psycho stalking and killing the residents and tourists, she feared that there
was nothing she could do on her own to save the next victim.
As she neared her apartment,
the sky changed from
its usual calm blue to a dark grey color. It appeared heavy with
enormous black angry clouds, hanging close to the shore. The clouds seemed to be alive and breathing from the way
they swayed and moved. She raced home the rest of the way, all the while scolding herself for now being afraid
of clouds. She couldn’t believe that she had just terrified herself with her
own gloomy and twisted thoughts.
At home she checked the
sky from her front window. It appeared bright blue again with soft white puffy
clouds. She didn’t know if she had just imagined the ominous clouds…or if the
shadowy creatures of hell had added another trick to their growing collection
of evil pranks.
