Silence

Silence

 

Silence….

No movement

No sound

A smell of wet paint invading the air

Red

A torn curtain drapes over just one of the three

Swirls of red decorates the home

Broken glass lays in clusters

Open

Everything is open

Broken windows and swinging door

Inviting the cool air of the night unstirred

Sleeping

Awaken in sudden fright

Confusion rise to panic

Then peace once more

Prey

To the intruders of the night

Movements swift

No time wasted

Quickly

Hours before moved in a blur

Someone’s there

Now gone from sight

Empty

No life

Personal belongs run scarce

Only a painted symbol drying shows any activity

Grief

Photos of the family soaked in red

Everything is lost to the intruders of the night

But the neighbor hood sleeps unaware

Silence….

[George turner]

definitely well written but chilling had me glances over my shoulder a few times

[Kitt]

Haha, glad you liked it.

[Hornet]

That's...That's just depressing. VERY well written, though. I love the suspense and descriptions.
