I Have No Idea Why I Felt The Need To Write This Down...Or Post It.*

 It was dark.
I suppose that sort of thing should be expected as it was night.  Especially when the moon was a mere sliver…which had set nearly an hour earlier.  And all of this was somewhat moot due to the dense clouds that had blocked what little light it might have shed anyway.

Contributing to the dark, sometime after eleven, a line of threatened squalls had finally arrived, throwing up a curtain of wind whipped water.  The wind was unrelentingly steady…except when it was gusting to truly frightening crescendos.

So…it was a dark and stormy night; we’ll leave it at that.

*OK, maybe it has a little to do with the fact that I'm reading A Wrinkle In Time...which begins that way.

P.S. Only 1445 years until 1/2/3456.  I can't wait!

Me too, Janiece. I think I need to get new copies of them.

TPT and I just finished A Wrinkle in Time. We both enjoyed it. I am going to have to get new copies of the 1st 2 in the series, because my old ones are not very healthy (read falling apart).
