Who's Watching You?

photo credit: Gerrit Photography

He had the luxury of watching unseen through the windows.  It made him feel a little dirty but not enough to stop him.  Leaning over his brick balcony railing he begin to sing love poems of 
shining horses dancing.  She never heard a word nor knew of his devotion.  

Later as she was passing his apartments, he spoke.  She returned a shy smile.

She never reached the end of the block. She never reached home. She was never seen again.

The alignment gremlins are working against me.  Sorry.  I can not fix it.  I will try later. Thanks for visiting.

No one is watching me. There is nothing to see.
I have trouble enough sleeping..so I will perhaps skip this one. Maybe they ran off together? Lived happily ever after. :)

Just kidding, good work.

Chilling micro-tale... Unfortunately, nowadays we find that it is only too true...
Well-penned, Gail.
