Are they trying to take him? Is the shadow in the temple only in my mind? Surely the convent is a safe place. It has to be.I hold my Samuel's hand as we approach the convent. In the pale moonlight, it's our one hope for refuge. He stumbles. I lift him up, as his eyes get heavy. I can't help smiling at his innocence.My past is a blur. I know I've been through much, but I've never been broken. As long I have my precious little boy, I won't be broken.The convent blocks out the moon and I stumble to the door. Hoping and praying they'll let us stay, for the night, for the fast-approaching winter.If only I had seen the signs, listened to the rumors. If only I had let us starve. Freeze to death. Anything would have been better than stepping into that house of evil.Samuel is a gothic horror short story. Please enjoy!
