The full moon had barely crested the horizon when the black cat padded silently onto the ledge. With eyes glowing gold against the night sky, it paused, ears pricked, watching the sky. A witch on a broomstick passed overhead, silhouetted against the giant harvest moon. The breeze picked up. Somewhere nearby, leaves rustled, but the cat didn’t flinch, it was used to things in the night.
