Utter beauty on many levels. So moving. Congratulations, Mark Mitchell. Well-written, Ms. Graves.

It's Close To Midnight And Something Evil's Lurking In The Dark
Under The Moonlight You See A Sight That Almost Stops Your Heart
You Try To Scream But Terror Takes The Sound Before You Make It
You Start To Freeze As Horror Looks You Right Between The Eyes,
You're Paralyzed

You Hear The Door Slam And Realize There's Nowhere Left To Run
You Feel The Cold Hand And Wonder If You'll Ever See The Sun
You Close Your Eyes And Hope That This Is Just
Imagination
But All The While You Hear The Creature Creepin' Up
Behind
You're Out Of Time

Night Creatures Call
And The Dead Start To Walk In Their Masquerade
There's No Escapin' The Jaws Of The Alien This Time

This Is The End Of Your Life

They're Out To Get You, There's Demons Closing In On Every Side
They Will Possess You Unless You Change The Number On Your Dial
Now Is The Time For You And I To Cuddle Close Together...

..GOSH, .I do hope everyones O.K.!!!

I was there last week. It's definitely worth checking out. The backdrop of the paintings is perfect.

beautifully written, Jen

Wow. What a piece of writing. I'm heartsick that I missed this show. Thanks, Jen, for your talent. And congrats on being a Pulitzer finalist. There's no doubt about why you received such recognition.
