Quoth the Raven: The They on the Ether (Literary / Octarine 14)
Author: novel_machinist
Story: Quoth the Raven: The They on the Ether
Theme: Literary / Octarine14. It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us.
Word Count: 201
Summary: Follow Raven through the world she lives in.
Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Notes: Over at Chuck Wendig's blog, “Terrible Minds” has Flash Fiction challenges. I pulled out this random title generator and rolled 5 different titles.
There is an atmosphere that is between physical and mythical and it’s far and away where the most dangerous things dwell. They wait at the border in hissing contempt for those who live on either side. It’s a combined three realm effort to keep them contained.
This means, of course, that they aren’t always going to be where they should. They’re not very polite and they don’t follow rules. I’m not going to get into the whole rulebook or the orders of knights or libraries on you. That’s just too much and it’s all common sense or nonsense depending.
Just be aware that sometimes it’s best to lock your door and draw the window shades tight. Listen to that feeling you get that creeps up the back of your neck when you walk by a mirror and refuse to look yourself in the eye. Those little notions aren’t all that silly, you never know what will look right back at you.
I’m not here to scare you at all, just to make you aware. Sometimes you’ll get that feeling walking by a person too. You listen to it extra careful then. Those are the ones that got out of the mirror.

Do you think I should warn about that? I didn't even think about it.

I don't think a warning is necessary, it's all feels.

And then. Then it wasn't.
And I was so, so OK with that. Thank you!
