Baby Of The Dead

    Present Day. October 22, 2017. Winchester.A day ago. HOOT HOOTThe constant call of the black owl on the zenith branch of the hickory rang through the substratosphere, lending the whooshing winds some rhythm to play upon. The thickness of the gloom sweeping past the night, leeched off the writhing body of dark clouds in the sky.
