“I think I heard something!” As a figure passed through the window.
BANG! As it got louder they began to get more frightened. Until they heard the splintering of wood. They realized they were armed, and was almost in the house. The window next to them broke and an arm tried reaching for them, until Cathrine grabbed Benny’s knife and pierced the Northman’s hand.
“Window”
“What?”
“The widow is open” They took the leap of faith out the window and flew into a green spikey

I have never traveled out of the country, eaten exotic foods, or gone skydiving; consequently, I haven’t met many people of special interest. Not to say the people I have met are not interesting, on the contrary, most of the people I have come to know all have their own unique stories and experiences; however, I never did meet anyone quite like Miss May.
