For most people, night spreads a cloak of silence and mystery upon the natural world. If we dare to venture outside after dusk, we hear little and see less. At night, this world we think we own does not feel quite so much like home. We may sense that there is an abundance of life here, we may even feel ourselves drawn to it at times, but it is a life that is always slightly beyond our ken; we are alien to it.
With every minute we stay within the shadowed borders of the land of night, the uneasy conviction grows stronger: we are not alone; we are being watched; we are being...hunted.

Really beautifully written. Very poetic and haunting. Nicely done!
Very well written.
That's just spooky. Perfect right before Halloween. *glances around nervously* We're not being hunted by zombies, right? Y'all know how I am about zombies.
Very evocative
This gave me a chill.
I sat there reading and thinking what awesome prose. Then, you hooked it right at the end with "we are being hunted." Now, I want to know who is hunting us and what is it going to do if it finds one of us alone, in that dark night.
Made me want to turn around and look behind me. Very evoking.
Oooh, creepy! Me likey!
Very spooky. Just what this time of year calls for. :)
