Hubris

for Friday Fictioneers

"We're safe out here," they say. "No ghosts can get us."
And each day they come closer. Soon, someone will grab the fence to peer through the bars. We can wait.

    Very succinct and very creepy! I love the perspective and the waiting. A lot accomplished in this short piece!
