InspireMeThursday Prompt: Ghost

SNAP!

My eyes
flew open
like a windowshade
pulled up too quickly

But outside my two windows
nothing could be seen
in the heavy
darkness

"Did you hear that?"
a whisper
from my husband
slides towards me

As I gave
an invisible nod
the sound repeated
ghosting through the night

A moose call
echoing deeply
up and down
the riverbank

  1. I love the title and the opening! Snap! Really sets the tone. It's fluid and fun to read.

  2. What an indoctrination to camping! Yes, I was scared! Hence the sliding to my "strenght."
