Dogs At Midnight (WT 149)

No one came to this dark, rundown house, not Trick-or-Treaters or adventure-seeking boys with eggs and soap, not birds, or cats. No lights beckon through its wavy windows. A cursed man lives here and Death visits on Halloween.

This story was originally published online at THE TINY GLOBULE in 2008 and that website is now defunct.
