“Owww,”
he grumbled as the bone needle stabbed his finger. The wind picked up
the sound, turning it into a chilling howl of the night. He rose his
finger to his mouth and sucked before returning to the task. Once
finished sewing the garment he shook it out and grinned at his handy
work. The long coat glimmered beneath the full moon, gleaming white
with threads of silver. It looked good new, but it would gradually
fade into a patchwork of black and greys.
That's
how he preferred it.
All
that was needed was one last piece, one final soul to finish the
work.
“Come
on, it's over here.”
He
froze at the sound of voices and the dark place within him danced
with glee. He stuffed the Soul Garment into a chest at the foot of
his post and scurried back up it. Hanging himself across the large
t-shaped piece of wood and stared across the field, searching.
“Where
the hell is this thing?”
“Old
Man McCormack put the Scarecrow in the center of the field, look, you
can see the light from it's Jack-o-lantern head.”
“Damn,
that things creepy.”
Perfect,
they would make excellent additions to his coat.

ReplyDeleteI didn't really go for conventional things, even though some of them are forms of the average thing. Thought linking to little extra info would be nice. The title links to a page about the topic and the picture links to the source/credit.
DeleteCurious how this will go on... I'll keep stopping by!
