The Highwayman by Tia

Peeking out from behind the trees, the moon glinted in the darkness, like bony fingers on crusty hands from the under world,the trees swayed in the dark.Dust swept the path of light , creating an ocean of black clouds.In the far distance, the road turned into a ribbon of darkness.As gloomy as a cave, the forest was like a hall of fears

Roaring like a lion, the wind crashed against the trees causing on off the crusty hands to fall over and shredding the rotten candy canes into chippings of emerald.So silent that you can hardly hear it, a nest of birds flew over the purple moor.As it struck midnight, the moon disappeared behind the dark misty clouds,making this bad dream turn into a nightmare.Like a deep down dungeon holding all your fears,the woods started to get more wild , more movements in the darkness scamper away and the trees sway wildly.
