Yesterday I came home from work just like I do 5 days of the week. As I was opening the door to my humble abode I could hear children laughing, but I couldn't see them because my front door faces away from the sidewalk. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a child run past me and as I turned to see what she was up to I felt a cold shiver run up my left side. There was no child there. No place for a child to hide. No way to escape unseen.
I shoved the door open and rushed inside.
Of course, if it was a spirit child I was in no way safer inside than out.
But if it wasn't, at least my neighbors couldn't see me scolding an invisible child.
