Still,Night（Chapter10）

I stared at my bedroom's ceiling as insomnia was tapping my mind and trying to acknowledge me of his presence. I rubbed away the layer of water vapour on the windowpane. What do I see? I know today the moon is perfectly round. So beautiful and radiating a sense of calmness when I look at her. I was wondering, is it possible for me to pluck the delicate-she down and hug her tightly,feeling her warmness and tenderness?Hey, go away twigs! Why are you interupting my admiration on the moon? I shifted to another angle to get a better viewing of her.



While I am peeping at her showering with stars and veiling of partially-transparent clouds, I heard that weird sound again. Who dare to add filthy the wretched into this harmonious night? I looked at the inkish playground. I am stunned when I saw movements of a shadow. He dragged something else(from the outline of the object, it was a...body?) to the swing. Then, as if showing off some magic tricks,a shining knife(scissors?surgery blade?) appeared in his left hand. He then (I can't see clearly,maybe dissecting)cut the object with his knife.The blade gleamed under his left hand motion.



I was terrified.What are you doing? Oh please please, don't cut him! I forced myself to scream,but my throat abandoned me tonight. He refused to produce any shout despite of my fear and, tremble. I, I want to race down the staircase and unlock my door and stop his crazy act. I want to warn my parents. I want to stop my body from shivering. I want to fold myself in the warm blanket and let sleepiness and it's warmth overdosed me so that I may close my eyes and forget about everything. Close my eyes! My heart shouted.But my eyes were glued to the malicious of the night.



The shadow finished his dissection apparently.He was admiring his piecework, just like an artist finished applying the last touchup of his painting. Then, he detected my stare.He turned his face to me.



He has no face.Only shadow.He smiled, and saluted me with the object on his hand.It was a heart,dripping with liquid. He waved and swallowed it,and,and said,Hi.



I collasped.
