Retreat



While I was scrambling to finish my thesis in August I took a retreat to a friend's house for some quiet space... she went on vacation so I took care of her cats, turtle, fish, wild birds and fed the horse (it's really the neighbor's horse but it still gets treats). Got a good chunk of work done there.

But happenings suggest her house may be haunted and it took me until the last night to watch "Ghost Hunters." In any case Mr. Spooky kept to himself. Still, it was disconcerting to head to bed at midnight and be greeted at the top of the stairs by an unhappy, hissing black cat in a supposedly haunted house. Also, my cell phone didn't work unless I walked out to the highway.

All fodder for more fiction.
