It thrills me to present to you our latest rengay (No. 17) in the current series.

Late Night Horror

(in order of appearance)
by
Lesley Scoble (ls), Melissa Lemay (ml), and David Bogomolny (db),

ls:    
      the old door opens…
                it creaks,    a lone shadow climbs
                           the stairway wall
ml:
               raspy floorboards
                    not a soul in sight
db:
              she moves closer
            shrieking, seeking reassurance
            ~ a quick glance thrills him
ls:      
           ancestral portraits stare down;
              wispy grey wind gasps through cracks
ml:
             a grandfather clock’s
             pendulum begins to swing
              tick ...tock ...tick ...tock
db:
            she fumbles the remote  ~  it
             s.k.i.t.t.e.r.s...      under the TV
