Christmas Moon
“Or, rather, standing just outside it.
It was evening and the mobile home park was mostly quiet. I could smell fish frying and meats baking. TV sets glowed in many of the mobile homes. Outside the window in question, where the blinds were a little too narrow and the curtains were a little too thin, I paused and took in the scene.
The area between Charlie’s home and the home next to his was covered in white gravel and seemed to serve as a small parking lot. There was also a path that led between the two homes. The path seemed to connect one side of the park to the other. The path led just outside the window in question.
Amazingly, there were no flood lights here, and the whole space was blanketed in darkness. It would have been easy enough for someone to pause outside the window and watch Charlie with his safe.
A narrow road curved through the mobile home park, which cars occasionally sped along, heedless of children, pets, Santa’s reindeer or vampires.
The question was: who had been wa...tching Charlie?MoreLess
