SPOILER ALERT: It wasnt.
At least not for most people.
For me, it was pretty fucked up.
Angelo Amboldi
Unfortunately, it wasnt the weather that I needed to be worried about.
She stood there at the closed door for a moment, seeming to hesitate.
And then she spoke…
Who is it?
my mother asked in the distant, muddled tone of a sleepwalker.
She paused to listen and the response she must have heard in her dream seemed to confuse her.
I was standing directly next to my mom at this point and watched as she suddenly furrowed her brow.
Angelo Amboldi
My mom replied with an incredulous tone.
She paused once more to listen and this time, the answer she received left her frowning.
When she spoke again, there was a mounting concern in her voice…
Do I have to?
Thats too tall, she said as I spotted the rain-soaked hat filling the lower half of the window.
A window which was set at least eight feet up the wall.
What sounded like a very large fist began to knock on the door with a quick, deliberate rhythm.
I could hear the figures movements through the door as it slowly turned and started away.
I almost pulled a full-on Dick Van Dyke but managed to regain my footing at the last second.
I made it to the back door in what I assumed was a photo finish.
Which was where Jaedon was sleeping.
Jaedon was already awake and talking to someone as I reached the landing to the second floor.
Can you show me?
The window was open and the figures blue ember-eyes were peering in from just outside.
And then something REALLY weird happened as I started across the bedroom.
But then there was another flash and I started to understand what I was seeing.
This ancient horrible something was on the run from some other something that was apparently even more horrible.
I talked with Jaedon later that day to find out what he remembered about the previous night.
Thankfully, the answer to that question was: Not much.
For the record though, he did not win.
Either way, I recommend that you dont fuck with otherworldly entities as a whole.
Not to sound like a bigot, but they literally dont belong here.
