In the Garden
The five extreme metal musicians along with Little John
Tamboli the ghoul and their former bandmate, the spectral Ketil Nagel, made
their way to a vast garden near a lake. The sunset caused a vivid Hollywood-pink
light to reflect from the lake. The nearly full moon began to rise, a
remarkable paraselene in its halo. Creepy dwarven scarecrows made from old
boards and rags seemed to turn their attention to the strange group.
“The less said in the presence of these sentries, the better,”
Ketil suggested. “The moon is rising and so are they, which is not a good thing.”

ReplyDeleteI wouldn't want to be out in the middle of moving scarecrows like that at night!
