As the night draws nearer the midnight hour, I have finally settled mentally. Outside it is dark as there are no streetlights near where I live and it is incredibly quiet. The air is cold and crisp and the sky is clear with a million stars shining down on my small town. There will be a frost on the lawns tomorrow and possibly a shrouding fog on the lower areas of the creek.
If I were to travel down to the towns centre I would find an abandoned landscape void of cars and silent. The curtains will be drawn on the pub windows. Tonight I will sleep knowing that no dangers lurk in the quiet darkness. It is the morning I fear. Will it hold the dread deep inside me that I have been experiencing these past mornings... Tonight though, I sleep.
