The Long
Oktober
Midnight
It seemed colder inside than
outside. Tom shivered in his white sweatshirt. His muscular body stretched
it tight. He figured it would be too much to wear for the fight, but he
needed the warmth. He didn't want to lose the mortal world because he cramped
up.
There were eerie sounds echoing
through the building ....Cat and the cloaked figure walked along with him.
"It's five 'til midnight, get
ready." The cloaked figure cleared a space in the floor. They set up two
portable lights.
"Are you ready for this, Tom?"
"Yeah, as much as I'll ever be,"
he said.
Tom waited for the signal. The
cloaked figure's watch chimed midnight.
A groan creeped through the building
and the ground heaved. "What was that?!" Tom exclaimed.
