shirley_jackson – blackandwhiteandcolours

A silence of no movement and almost no breath

Remember who planted them

We are like two friends

I have never known how to use them, of course

Spitting and screaming

I think they’re going to fight

And I guess that’s all that happened before I came here

And then the next day I just left, without any reason except that I did

I don’t really know quite how I got here

We are honored to have you here

I guess I was a little frightened

All those trees

I suppose it seems farther than it really is

It’s not even my cat

He just followed me here

Come along, please

I’ve been here for a long time, though

Going to be dark before long

Where are we going, fellow? Any ideas?

The cat had joined him shortly after he entered the forest
