“I look off into darkness…” — Henry Walsh ’16

I look off into the darkness

I see the moon’s reflection upon the water

It illuminates my soul

I see the ripples of a boat’s wake

Off in the distance I hear a scream

It may be a werewolf or a small child

Bells start ringing their eerie tune

Then all of a sudden — silence —

I look around but see nothing

I listen for a small noise but hear nothing

Out of nowhere I’m in the water

Being pulled down helplessly

Thrashing around and screaming for help

Then all is quiet and calm again
