Waiting


Stillness seeped though the house like mist rising over a calm pond on a moonlit night.  It swirled around her feet rising upward to embrace the woman sitting at the dining room table reading the newspaper.  She shivered as if a wayward breeze had caressed the back of he neck.  The paper crinkled as she set it down to look around.  Her dog, appearing to be asleep, raised his head and looked up with questioning eyes.  The sound of a vehicle in the drive captured her attention.

“It’s here!”  She exclaimed getting up to greet the deliveryman at the door.
