The shadows
As darkness came to the house at the bottom of a hill, three shadows came over it and continued down to the bottom, but disappeared in the shadow of the hill.But one could still see were they were if they looked at the darker spots.
They glided silently to the house.When they reach the door, the lach lifted, flooding them in light reviling them once more, but are unnoticed by the joyful occupants.They did not notice a log full forth from the fire on to the dry wood floor till the door slames shut and locked. Trapping the burning occupants, until the skin melted ever so slowly in the flame, there screams filling the air,like a prolonged gun shot
Mean while as the house burns, the trio of shadows stops on tops of a hill , barely seen but still there all the same, waiting till the last scream bounces back from the hill giving them permission to leave, but one stayed behind and watched until the house caved in on its self, then hurries to chach up to the others as they enter the forest at the bottom.
But after the burnt ash and timbers settled, there was a loud scream as a burnt timber moves in the strong winds...
