“Who is sitting in that empty chair?”
~Eugene Ormandy

Crystal water turns to dark
Where ere it's presence leaves it's mark
And boiling currents pound like drums
When something wicked this way comes...

A presence dark invades the fair
And gives the horses ample scare
Chaos rains and panic fills the air
When something wicked this way comes...

Ill winds mark it's fearsome flight,
And autumn branches creak with fright.
The landscape turns to ashen crumbs,
When something wicked this way comes...

Flowers bloom as black as night
Removing color from your sight
Nightmarish vines block your way
Thorns reach out to catch their prey

And by the pricking of your thumbs
Realize that their poison numbs
From frightful blooms, rank odors seep
Bats & beasties fly & creep

'Cross this evil land, ill winds blow
Despite the darkness, mushrooms glow
All will rot & decompose
For something wicked this way grows...

~Ray Bradbury

Mother in Diner: [to Melanie] " Why are they doing this? Why are they doing this? They said when you got here the whole thing started. Who are you? What are you? Where did you come from? I think you're the cause of all of this. I think you're evil. EVIL!"

~from "The Birds" , the classic Hitchcock film that I first watched with a babysitter in my den surrounded by birds that my father had stuffed during his taxidermy period. I was convinved that their friends were all going to come get me that night.

“And so we came forth, and once again beheld the stars.”
~William Styron

If the stars should appear but one night every thousand years how man would marvel and stare.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

(My first real attempt at shooting the night sky. Thanks to Wyomingeezer for teaching me a thing or two and thanks to whoever invented those little air activated hand heater things (Grabber Hand Warmers).
