That was very cruel of you, Sharron. Ever since I first saw The Omen with the great Gregory Peck and the gorgeous Lee Remick, the sign of the beast, 666 has always been especially troubling to me...how did you know that? - Jim
Haha, okay duly noted, Miss Lucifer. Just remember this though, the part you don't know (and there is always something), will get you every time. - Jim
This piece just came out of nowhere, as they sometimes do. And, I don't know, with the tenor of the current state of our nation, it seemed apt. ( I should have dedicated it to Elon Musk...)
Shadow play. Hands down a spoof begins. Coyote calls, crows fly on walls. Box of characters waiting for light shadows to change into disguised specters of delight. A wall of moving images with Pachatantra delight. New Year’s beginning. What more stories do you hold in that box if treasures to unfold the past is present. Please me. The day and year is young.
Do we all know things we wish we didn't? Then again, getting through them, if they are transparent or ghosts or...? That is something and dark lightens two minutes per day until June 21?
I have a so-called bird feeder, which not only attracts LOTS of birds, but squirrels are always around for any leftovers dropped. And a couple of Cooper hawks come sailing in once in a while. PLUS deer--4 just left the backyard.
Are you suggesting to write on the things we know which sometimes we wish we didn't? Interesting thought...
Loved the music, very appropriate selection, Sharon.
I'd rather hear a dedication to the evildoers that crash through crowded streets, and shoot up defenseless children in their places of learning. Lets not make it political. Enough evil in the world already, right?
Thank you for ringing in on this change of genre. Your opinion means everything to me. I have no idea what is lurking in my head. Sometimes all it takes is one odd photo to trigger something unexpected. I guess I will see it when I see it?

Oh, Jim, I know things. I know a lot of things...

The devil is in the details.
Stay awake. Keep those eyes open. Just say no. IMHO
exactly. stay vigilant.
Eeeps!
Loved this Sharron. “Gathering darkness” paints a wonderful picture of evil biding its time 👍🏼

Very cool, Sharron! I like it. Great "Storm." I love those guys.
Yeah. What a pair! Such virtuosity. Thanks for reading and commenting on this odd new year story.

Young, indeed. Where will it go, I wonder. I hope you post these comments on your own Substack, Richard, so more people will have access to them.
I followed your advice .
Yikes! You sure did...

Write more about this on Jillfulness! An interesting subject to expand on! But take time to watch the birds. A live camera.

Yes, I think that would be very thought-provoking for your readers
And now I know something else I wish I didn't. Hard to un-know, isn't it?
What has been seen cannot be unseen….
Hmmmm! Sounds ominous.
I know it does. Eeeps! Where is my head?
Weird…. Compelling and puts me on edge. Thank you.
My pleasure. ha ha ha.
I apologize.
Actually this is quite appropriate for our new era. Welcome to the Fourth Reich, folks. Heil Trump/Musk
But, golly, Sue. They are having so much fun! Megalomaniacal clowns!

More than enough.
Weird is good, once in a while 😉
Six hundred sixty- six disguises--brilliant! Sharron indulges in the occult. It's a new year alright. Your talent for writing knows no boundaries.
My talents for sloth and cynicism are even greater... and I am proving it every day. ha ha ha
I have rug very much like that one in the picture. Now I’m worried.
No problem with the rug. But if you receive an email from coven666@gmail, do not click on the link. Just saying…
Got it. It’s Spam!
"Let’s see just what these foolish, misguided mortals can be made to believe…"
Anything, if you post it enough on social media. 🙄
That's it, exactly.
Oooh, your darker stories have always intrigued me, but this one might take the cake. Might we see more spooky stories from you in 2025? Loved this.

I know where these weird things come from. The mind of a master!
I may be due for another exorcism…
Spooky!
Too spooky…
