A dark and gloomy evening – a dreaded long night ahead … the heavens were dark and broody … what had induced her to stay home … she couldn't imagine – she hated the uncertainty.

That music infiltrated … it wouldn't go … it was taking over … especially now she remembered the lyrics … tit-willow-tit-willow-tit-willow …
Long ago alone the tv glowed … that song again … the setting - a murder … how did he die? Now all was in deep murky darkness … the garden stretched out … falling away towards a gurgling stream …
Even though it was the black and white era … she remembered the images … that song always brought shivers to her spine … why … no idea – but along her journey of life … there were some horreurs …
Tangled undergrowth
Time to put the Tit-Willow … back in its box – til the tune raises its ugly head and resonates again, as it surely will …
I don't seem to do well for October horrorfests … remembering my post for October five years ago – almost to the day …

So after mental reference to my Dark Places WEP posted seven years ago … and my thoughts on Joan of Arc and her ending, found as we're covering the Plantagenet era in our history group … horrors abound throughout the centuries … I'm almost bowing out …
That Tit-Willow song will, apparently, always bring up the anxious senses … I'm off now - a gloomy evening awaits … I'll catch up properly next week …
Horror: I avoid if I can … happy for all other prompts! Thanks WEPPERS … and BLOGGERS … see you soon …

The Mikado by Gilbert and Sullivan - a comic opera ... though that tune gives me the heebie-jeebies ...
