Tricia had wasted time choosing a costume and now darkness swallowed the winding country road. The party ended long ago while she had lost her way. Fog enshrouded cornfields came to life as aged stalks resembled zombies. The paved road narrowed then changed to gravel. Turning around she spun the car too fast and rolled it over.
After climbing from the crumpled wreck she rubbed her aching head.
Incandescent light beckoned from a farmhouse. Entranced, she stumbled through the corn.
Tricia banged on the door.
It opened on rusted hinges. The woman looked right through her and asked, “Who’s there?”
Have you ever panicked when you were lost?

Thanks so much Fusun! They are a great exercise.
The spiders were insane in our yard. I hadn't noticed until the foggy day! After all the snow, they seem to have gone dormant, or have they come in the house..................................
