“It's fun searching for the supernatural. If the supernatural comes
looking for you, it's anything but fun. It's terrifying and disturbing.
Keep it out of your life at all costs.”

Owl Hollow Road
by Stewart Stafford
On a bracing night walk,
On leafy Owl Hollow Road,
A raspy voice whispered to me,
Like a deep-croaking old toad.
I moved rapidly on my path,
And then heard phantom feet,
Looked around, empty space,
Only silence replaced the beat.
At my most pressing pace now,
A shadow pointed past my shoulder,
An SUV slammed into my side,
And I broke my back on a boulder.
