on the Silver Screen</span></b><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 22pt; line-height: 107%;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">The projector's hum
resonated through the small, dimly lit room, its echo mingling with the
flickering light that painted dancing shadows on the walls—a cinematic ballet
mirroring the emotions unraveling within her.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">It was another Friday
night at the vintage movie theater, but tonight held a distinct air. She found
herself alone, having spun another tale of work to escape the confines of home.
Lies had become her refuge, a desperate means to avoid his anger and her own
tears.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">The end had come for
them. It was a truth acknowledged by both, yet he clung to denial. His
obsession had become a paralyzing force, and her attempts to break free in the
past only led to her surrender and transformation into someone unrecognizable.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">However, her true self
couldn't remain imprisoned indefinitely. The question loomed: how could she
escape without shattering him and herself? The credits rolled, and she sat in
the afterglow of a film that had woven itself into the fabric of her soul. Characters
lingered, and plotlines carved permanent residence in her thoughts.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">It was an escape, if only
momentary, but each happy ending kindled hope for her own. Her dream felt
within reach. Why else would God permit such unhappiness if not for a reward at
the end?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">As the theater emptied,
she lingered in her seat, suspended between the reel and reality. The story had
seeped into her heart, leaving an indelible mark. It wasn't just a movie; it
was an awakening. Could she sustain this belief?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Outside, city lights
twinkled like distant stars. She took a breath, feeling the cool night air on
her face. The protagonist's journey mirrored her struggles, and the resolution
became a roadmap for her uncertainties.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">The movie had whispered
truths she hadn't dared to acknowledge, sparking a fire, a catalyst for change.
Stepping into the night, she carried the film's essence like a talisman.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">In the following days,
she navigated life with a fresh perspective. The movie's lessons guided her
decisions, its soundtrack the melody of her daily rhythm. She chased dreams
with the same fervor the characters pursued their destinies.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Change would only occur
if she willed it. She was determined to make it happen!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">As time passed, the movie
became a silent companion. In moments of doubt, she replayed scenes in her
mind, drawing strength from fictional triumphs. The cinema transformed from a
mere escape to a wellspring of inspiration.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 6pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 150%;">Under the city lights,
she embraced the serendipity of that cinematic night. The silver screen birthed
a metamorphosis, and as the credits rolled on her own life, she whispered
gratitude to the universe for the movie that changed everything.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Evil lives in its
depths. And I know I'm a victim. Last Halloween, while on my way home, the car
suddenly stopped. I had plenty of gas, and the battery was new. But no matter
what I did, the damn thing wouldn't start.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">A mile yet to go. I could do that. I'd be home in
fifteen minutes. I gathered my belongings. Right before stepping out of the
car, I saw the fog. It was approaching fast. Blowing in waves like thick smoke
pushed by an otherworldly wind. There was no breeze, but watching it move belied
that.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I locked the car door and ran home. My heel caught
and broke. I kicked my shoes off and continued barefoot. Superstition about the
fog urged me forward.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">But something grabbed me from behind. I was at his
mercy.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">A knife slashed my cheek. I kicked backward and
somehow got free. I raced to the door, key in hand, and I was inside just as
the fog reached my porch. The clock chimed midnight.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I was bloody, but I was alive. And the fog had
disappeared.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Tonight, a year later, it's Halloween once again.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The temperature keeps dropping, and the fog has surrounded
my house. Death's come to finish the job.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The chill of fear brittles my bones. I close the
curtains, check all the locks, and return to the dining room to ensure the
patio door is double-locked. But I'd already done that several times. I was on
edge, unable to think straight. Terror had me in its talons.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">As the clock began the countdown to midnight, I
breathed a sigh of relief. But then noticed the fog seeping in from every crevice.
Even locked doors wouldn't keep death out. He's come for me again. I ran to the
bathroom shower and turned on the cold water. Surly, cold water will kill the
fog and keep me safe. Just a few more chimes till midnight…<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Bookman Old Style",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> The next

wind would stir the frozen snowflakes into weird dances that haunted Sarah
daily. No sun, no birdsong, just the occasional crack and shattering of an icicle falling from a great height and the unusual gurgle of air escaping from
the lake were the only sounds that filled her days. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">Sarah did her best to chase the blues away. Singing
her favorite songs, Sarah serenaded the ice-filled gorge for her peace of mind
and the echoing accompaniment. Sitting atop the rock in her favorite fishing
spot, she sang as she fished for the fresh dinner she'd planned for Chet's
return. He said he'd be back in a week, if not sooner, either with the rescuers
or just to return to her because the mountain was still socked in.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">Sarah hadn't heard the sound of one plane or chopper
the entire week, even though she'd spent hours listening. Meditating, praying, and
visualizing, to no avail. She had not been able to manifest anything positive, but still,
she held on to hope.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">She stared over the lake, wondering about Chet's
location when she heard his voice. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">"Sarah, you really need to be more
careful. Pay attention. Be prepared, he's coming." </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">Out of the corner of
her eye, she saw Chet approaching and turned to greet him, but a sudden yank on
her fishing pole had her jerking her attention back to the lake. The rod went
flying. She grabbed for it but lost her balance and slid off the rock straight
down onto the ice. Chet's
makeshift cast on her broken ankle gave way, but so did the ice. Sarah slipped
through and into the cold wetness. The pain surging through her body was
nothing compared to the intense shock of the water as it consumed her.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: right;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Photo by <a href="https://unsplash.com/@primeshoot?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText">Greg Nerantzakis</a> on <a href="https://unsplash.com/photos/MInMqxTYSs4?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText">Unsplash</a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimYlW73Pp-mP_LAHMpNzVC8w7_Y77imLEoEXL8z1xV_zJ7pXmo8kPd0KSdbsOwhBAt5RoKhm-q-XechYzxYMfkoGezia1BSe711YKuAGKVzUz9TlscLG2W6NWKzZOs3Ap8ncQ61wDRqo_6uEHBpYHeddvHyTTLNJGALWXR3P0jdppRuBBRYPgXey0gJwnU/s2771/greg-nerantzakis-MInMqxTYSs4-unsplash.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2062" data-original-width="2771" height="238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimYlW73Pp-mP_LAHMpNzVC8w7_Y77imLEoEXL8z1xV_zJ7pXmo8kPd0KSdbsOwhBAt5RoKhm-q-XechYzxYMfkoGezia1BSe711YKuAGKVzUz9TlscLG2W6NWKzZOs3Ap8ncQ61wDRqo_6uEHBpYHeddvHyTTLNJGALWXR3P0jdppRuBBRYPgXey0gJwnU/s320/greg-nerantzakis-MInMqxTYSs4-unsplash.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-size: 16pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">She fought with all she had to get back to the
surface. But murkiness, tangled reeds, heavy clothes, and a heavier parka
weighed her down. Her lungs felt like they'd explode before she would recognize
which way was up. But she let go of a lung full of air and watched the bubbles
ascend. She kicked off the rocky bottom with her good leg, and with her parka
half on and half off, she broke through to the surface. Grappling to find a
handhold on the ice and laboring not to be pulled back into the icy water by
the heavy parka. She took a deep breath and yelled for Chet. But he was nowhere
to be seen. Maybe he'd gone for some rope. Calming herself, she removed the
water-soaked coat and threw it toward the rocks sticking above the ice on shore
that were out of her reach. After three throws, she managed to secure the hood
of her parka over a large stone. Sarah pulled herself from the lake and across
the rock-filled icy shore.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">Breathless and unable to find her crutches, she crawled
back to the cave. She knew how deadly hyperthermia was, and her only goal was
to get to safety and warmth. But as she dragged her broken foot along the
ground, the rest of the splint, mostly gauze, sluffed off. But a section became
caught on a stone. She stopped to tear the rest of the makeshift cast off,
which left her leg unprotected and made her movements even more painful. She
took a moment to catch her breath, pray, and look around. Where the hell was
Chet? She knew she'd seen him. She knew she heard his voice.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">But a deep silence covered the area. No wind, not even
a rustle. The pain in her leg was becoming worse. Even more than she remembered
of the initial break. She laid her broken leg across her good leg. Just as a
chill wind blew a swirl of snow like a dust devil at her. The clouds darkened, and
lightning and thunder shook the gorge. Giant icicles by the dozens crashed
to the ground, and blowing snow twirled and blew in all directions.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">Darkness had fallen so quickly that it was as though
someone had turned the lights out or closed the curtains. Sarah shivered and
thought her bones would snap from the instant brittleness caused by the Arctic
chill. Then her entire body began shaking uncontrollably. Her extremities
burned as though they were on fire, and then they grew numb almost
simultaneously. She gathered her strength and pulled herself backward with her
hands and arms. She let her good leg protect and haul the broken one.
Eventually, she made it to the entrance of the cavern.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Photo by <a href="https://unsplash.com/@viramedio?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText">Chris Ensminger</a> on <a href="https://unsplash.com/photos/i6yrDhfZ-XQ?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText">Unsplash</a></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-size: 16pt; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNXsjVFZQi-3V7rRF8_A0YgdGZuzzmuuSZiwP_3zCkzoBq9bnCvgGJO-l1IaK9eJzJs041wDmzlkxeNBfk2lhQs7AfwMY1f7sDyD7DFOLnFP69pC4x8BbCBxHbm_zr-Ec3XtdUGD8CGZu43pbWctvlg-zupoxq41Gk4CQQ_EEvwYUlSCiLux9HRIRj1_7_/s4403/chris-ensminger-i6yrDhfZ-XQ-unsplash.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4403" data-original-width="4000" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNXsjVFZQi-3V7rRF8_A0YgdGZuzzmuuSZiwP_3zCkzoBq9bnCvgGJO-l1IaK9eJzJs041wDmzlkxeNBfk2lhQs7AfwMY1f7sDyD7DFOLnFP69pC4x8BbCBxHbm_zr-Ec3XtdUGD8CGZu43pbWctvlg-zupoxq41Gk4CQQ_EEvwYUlSCiLux9HRIRj1_7_/w247-h272/chris-ensminger-i6yrDhfZ-XQ-unsplash.jpg" width="247" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">Sighing in relief, she suddenly froze in place.

her cold. The cry was close. This time, the wolf was closer.</span></div></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 16pt;">She looked up. Atop the cliff was a gray-black wolf,

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">"Do you
want to go alligator hunting today?" Greg asked his wife.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Shanna
smiled. "You realize it's Friday the 13th."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">"I've
promised for months now. Besides, you aren't <a name="_Hlk147951300">paraskevidekatriaphobia</a>.
But if you'd rather wait until next week. I'll consider taking next Friday off,
too."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">"Are
you kidding? I'm not superstitious. I consider the 13th my lucky day. I'm game,
let's go. We've been here for a year, and I still haven't seen one, but they're
always in the news. I'll get Charlie's lease if you'll get the camera. It's on
the table in the den."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">*****<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Shanna
wandered around the apartment in a daze, then the doorbell rang. After she
accepted the delivery of Dahlia Yellow Star, she recalled the last twenty-four
hours in detail, and the tears flowed like the water from the spigot.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">It wasn't
the shock of Greg's death hitting her so hard but the uncalled-for accusations
from the detective investigating what he called a brutal murder.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Would he
apologize after he viewed the film, or would he still want to prosecute her to
the full extent of the law? What a rude bigot of a man, she thought.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">When he
claimed she had hyperbolized the horrific details of her husband's death.
Shanna wanted to knock the dull gold tooth from his mouth. Thank goodness she
thought better of it and instead handed her camera to the young lady beside
him.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">"This
shows the exact details of what happened. And nothing I've said was hyperbole.
I hand this to you because obviously your youth and gender will ensure a
different outcome than what this," she looked at the startled detective,
"Neanderthal is hoping for."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Shanna stood.
"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to make arrangements for Charlie."<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">"Don't
you mean Greg and Charlie?" the Neanderthal asked.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">"No.
That film will prove my husband tried to feed me to that beast. I'll call
