Barn Fright
When Spooky clops through the dark barn, mice scurry
in front of his hooves. His ears twitch when chickens roosting in the
rafters cluck and cackle at being disturbed.
Spooky snorts at the eerie figures the moon paints on the wall.
Wait! What is
that?
Yellow eyes stare from the corner.
Spooky
shakes his head to show his is not afraid. But when the eyes leap toward him, Spooky
bolts from the barn.
A black cat curls up in the corner. The barn is quiet again.

Cute story! I love the picture of the horse and the cat...just precious!
How lovely! Great story and the ending was purrfect...kitty knew just what she was doing to make sure she had a quiet nap.:) Nice to connect with you via Susanna's fun contest!
This is cute. A cat gotta do what a cat gotta do. Fun story. Thanks for sharing.
A Halloween story full of animals, now that's my kind of story, StableGranny! :0)
Cute story.. :)
Cats own People places and spaces! Nice story.
This is wonderful! I love the images and the sounds. And what a fun ending. So cute. Great job!
What a cute story from someone who clearly knows horses and barns well! I'm so glad you found the contest and entered, otherwise I might not have met you. As a fellow person who lives in jeans and loves horses, dogs and writing, I think I may have found a kindred spirit :) Thanks so much for joining in the fun!
What a lovely thoughtful mood this piece conveys!
How neat--a horse's Halloween perspective. I don't think I've ever come across that. Nice work!
I like it even better than before! Great job.
Wonderful! Not only could I see it all in my mind's eye, I could hear it all as well. So well written. Thank you for entering the contest!
Feisty cat knows how to clear a place out :)
Fun story
Your love of horses (and cats) shines through in this story-- great job!
What a great barn scene you've created, and I love that it's a rooster cackling and not a witch. That's a good little twist.
I love this Patricia! I'm so glad you could enter the contest too, although I fear you provide some fierce competition for the rest of us. Your story is so good!
I love a horse named Spooky!
What a sweet story!
I love the eerie figures painted on the wall. There have been a lot of spooky cats in this contest. How great that you chose a horse!
