The Black Angel
In the cemetary, in the town across the river, stand a staute, a statue of an Angel. A Black Angel. In the dark, at nite, you may visit the angel to determine your fate. If the eyes glow when you look at them, you will not live through the nite.
When I was in high school we used to drive over to the town across the river to see the Black Angel. The Black Angel was in a cemetary on top of the hill overlooking the river valley. What a great place to take the girls. They were naturally scared, as they wanted to be. We were naturally their protectors, as we wanted to be. We all had fun.
But... When you looked into the eyes of the Black Angel, they sparkled. It was the sparkle that was dangerous. Why would the eyes of statue in an old cemetary sprarkle. The story said that if they sparkled when you looked at them you would not live the nite. Or was it live a long life. Or maybe it was you would die in a car crash on the way home. No, maybe it was you would not live to see your 19th birthday.....
Well, I drove over there during the day and took a look at the statue. The statue was monument to the daughter of a local predominate family a 100 years ago. Ruth Ann Dodge was her name. Not of Dodge automobiles, but of General Dodge. The statue was of granite, but had inlaid glass eyes. Wow! Thats why they glowed. They just had to catch the light of the moon or a street lamp.
I sat for a while and thought of Ruth Ann. Maybe she heard me. She was probably a fine woman. Loved by her family. Died at a young age. Her family mourned and we, being the stupid teenager that we were, played games at her monument.
After that, I never visited the Black Angel at nite. Though, that didn't stop me from telling my kids about the the Black Angel. And by the the way, one of the girls ended up as my wife, so we both told the kids the stories. We now live at the opposite end of town and the trip to the Black Angel is 20 miles or more. Our kids don't take the trip.
They will never meet Ruth Ann as I did.
I hadn't updated my status for several days so last nite I updated my status. Low and behold I have moved from a 4 to a 6. I rated a couple of profiles and was ready to log off and low and behold I saw a coven name. Midnight Dreary. I didn't even get a message informing me of joining.
I'm spending too much time here. I'm a shadow now, i guess that is good. It quite interesting reading the forums and posting on them. I'm having trouble keeping up returning ratings. Gotta go for today.
I met some members today. They sent me messages and bit me.
I read through the manual and rated a bunch of profiles. Got bitten by several folks.
I joined vampire rave today. Not sure how this whole site works yet but I'll see.
