Behind the dark veil,

Shadowy figures lurking,

Ready to raid upon.

    Mama mia! Just say the Name of the Lord and they will disappear. I do it often, and all the shadows vanish from everywhere—inside and out. I got chills again. :))

    This has the energy of a scene right before something dramatic unfolds.

    Such a concise snapshot of fear and mystery. It leaves me wanting to peek beyond the veil myself.

    This is a good one. Really excellent word choice in the first line, sets a very eerie tone. Helps the threat that follows really resonate

    Ready to raid upon...anyone who messes with SID. Well, you left the end as an open invitation. Hi Sid. Be well.
