Spook, Spook, Spook, Ahnainnie

Introduction

It was fall and it was in the air, leaves were falling, there was the smell of burning leaves in the air and as the fire burned the smoke came into shape of a little girl and it would move around the yard.

Imagery and Atmosphere

Then as the leaves blew around, they looked like witches flying all around.

Encounter in the Yard

When I walk through the yard, a stick was under the leaves. Then it came up at me and scared the jeebies out of me and the stick was full of leaves and mud, and it looked like a monster to me.

Inspiration for the Book

And that's how I came up with the book Spook Spook Spook Ahnainnie.
