WEEPING ANGEL

Its 2am with the light of the full moon. I set my camera up for a side view to capture her beauty in the moonlight, her arms by her side, I steady for the shot.

Shivering in the cold winter air, I look into the viewfinder, only to see her staring back at me, her arms are raised.

I stumble backwards.... has she moved???

I fumble for the shutter button, taking my eyes off her for a second, only this time when I look into the viewfinder she is now closer....I hit the shutter button.

I bid her goodnight, pack up my gear and head back to my car.

Driving off ,I look in the rear mirror to see her on the side of the road, a shiver goes down my spine, as I speed off into the night.
