Be a mother fucking werewolf.

I am #jealous of your slumber.  

The way you sleep and dream. 

Of the angel that cradles you in her protection.

Of all the fear you do not know.

Charred Remains

I have long since banished the idea of coincidence.

If life has taught me anything thus far, it's that everything IS connected.

Which leads me to a very interesting story.

And one that I hope you'll enjoy.

I have been working on a manuscript involving some childhood memories and future happenings.

It is a story about my sister, Kim.  

She passed away a couple of years ago and I have felt compelled to share her with the world.  

I want people to know her; to know what she was like; to be impressed by her as much as I am.

So, I created this tale of two sisters that lands us in the afterlife.  

In true Night Lights fashion, 

it involves some darkness and shadows; 

a battle between good and evil.

Since I've been working on this, I have had - in the back of my head - a gnawing need for a book title.

It wasn't long after I began writing it that I picked up a copy of Little Women.

I thought reading a story about sisters would be good inspiration for me.  

And it was indeed. 

It gave me the title for which I was looking...

Sunshine and Shadow

This title resonated with me because it encompasses 

all the good and and all the evil of the characters found in my manuscript.

The words came from a passage in Alcott's book that says:

"Some people seemed to get all sunshine and some all shadow..."

So, thank you Louisa May Alcott.  

I got my title.

And it fits perfectly.

Now, there's a little more to the story.

About a month ago, I am visiting a library in another town and I see a book titled

Little Men by Louisa May Alcott.

(*mind blown)

It is one of the sequels to Alcott's classic.

I didn't even know that this existed.

Of course, I pick it up and check it out with my super-awesome library card that I carry around with me because I think I'm cooler with it than without it.

(#SupportLibraries)

I get it home and read it up, knowing I'm better for it.

Now, I am always on the lookout for a scary read for my Book Club 

- and this is definitely not it - 

but there is a section in this book that made me sit up and reread.  

It deals with some darkness that I thought parallels a very horrific tale that has taken hold of mainstream Hollywood in the name of Annabelle.

Now, the history of the real Annabelle tells us that a student nurse was given the doll in 1968.

My question is, where was she before that time?

And I think we may have our answer...

If or when you read this book, 

check out a game the children play in Chapter Eight called Pranks and Plays.

It explains a childhood game involving a sacrificial fire and offerings of their most precious toys.  

(and even though the name ends in an A instead of an E, it's suspicious to say the least.)

"...he planted poor dear Annabella on the funeral pyre.  Of course she did not like it, and expressed her anguish and resentment in a way that terrified her infant destroyer...She did not blaze, but did what was worse, she squirmed.  First one leg curled up, then the other, in a very awful and lifelike manner; next she flung her arms over her head as if in great agony; her head itself turned on her shoulders, her glass eyes fell out, and with one final writhe of her whole body, she sank down a blackened mass on the ruins of the town.  This unexpected demonstration startled everyone and frightened Teddy half out of his little wits.  He looked, then screamed and fled toward the house."

~ Louisa M. Alcott ~

Coincidence?

Like I said, I don't believe in them.

But I do believe in ghosts.
How about you?

Mirrors

The storm chases me,
Ripping the blanket of night from me.
It holds me down to drink the rain;
To feed its thunder and feel its pain.

Among this sleepy nightmare, I hold my breath and wait.
Wait for the dawn to wake me;
For the light to cleanse me;
For reality to wash it all away.

Or is it the dream I wake up to?
A short break from the insanity,
Only to return to the darkness of time?

Inner Struggle

I wanted to cut out this evil from my soul.

I got the knife;
I prayed for strength.

I wrote this for my sister.
I posted it a couple of years ago and wanted to revisit it.
Please take a minute and read this short poetic piece that I wrote for her.
Even though it came from my mind, it was written with my heart.

She was always such a fan of my writing, and although she didn't always understand the darkness behind it, she fully supported me and encouraged me to continue with this gift.
Thank you, Kim.
Thank you for the love.
I pushed the darkness aside for a moment.
This one's for you....




Angel of the Skies

I know you've got your angel wings
And you're flying around doing angel things
Ushering in everything the day brings...

But I miss you.

Image found here

I know you're up there in that night sky,

With your twinkle and your sparkle and a watchful eye
Pulling the shade down and raising that moon up high...

But I miss you.

Find image here

I know you're all around me, I can smell you upon the breeze;

And I know you still speak to me, because I hear your whisper through the trees;

And I can feel your love raging up a storm and like the rain, it puts me at ease...

But I miss you.

Book Club Business - April 2018

Hi Creepsters.

How's your reading going?

Anything good?  Interesting?  Weird?

Our book club pick for this month checks all those boxes...

It contains good ideas, 

proposes interesting theories, 

and allows the mind to ponder some weird and wonderful questions. 

Erich Von Daniken's bestseller, 

Chariots of the Gods? ,

is a journey through some of the world's biggest mysteries.

It has sold more than 63 million copies and has become a notable classic in many communities.

Although this read isn't creepy in the way we're used to around here, it does tackle the Unknown on so many levels, that I wanted to share it with you.

Maybe you've already read it?

Maybe you're reading it right now?

Either way, let me know your thoughts.

Let me know if you believe...

And a big thank you goes out to Creepster Randall for this recommendation.

Look to the Skies...

Hi Creepsters.

This month's video for the Night Lights Book Club is meant to make you laugh 

and to ponder certain areas of the Unknown.

I had a recommendation from a fellow Creepster to check out a book that proposes questions about our Universe and many other worldwide mysteries. 

And even though this author wrote the book as a sort of serious ledger, 

I wanted to give it some green appeal.

So, have a laugh at my quirky clip about aliens and books...

Please note that I am a work in progress and may have to work on my camera game.

Thanks for being here and spending your time with me.
