She awoke groggily, in the middle of the night, somehow aware that she wasn't alone, as she had been every night for the past five years, following the untimely demise of her beloved husband. Not that she couldn't have moved on, and been remarried, for she was a fetchingly beautiful woman of thirty five, with flowing blonde hair like spun gold, piercing blue eyes, shapely legs, and curvaceous breasts that could reduce the proudest man to begging. But alas, when her late husband passed unexpectedly, he took her heart with him, and she barely went through the motions of each day since. Looking around, all she could see was the light of the full moon that spilled in through the bedroom window, but she could sense another presence in the room. Then she spotted him, and the adrenaline rushed through her. He was at the far end of the room, his features hidden within a black robe, his face obscured by a black hood, and the shadows. Despite the fear that coursed through her veins, she couldn't help but be a bit curious, as well as scared.
Was he a burglar? A psychotic? A figment of her imagination, made of moonlight, and nothing more?, A spirit? Was he perhaps Death, come to take her, hearing her broken heart calling out to him? As if to answer her question, he slowly reached out his hand, curled his index finger, and wordlessly beckoned her. "No, I won't!" she wanted to scream at him, but she stood on feet that no longer seemed under her control, and strode toward the mysterious figure. She joined him in the darkness, and he just stared at her for what seemed an eternity, no words exchanged.
