Autumn Leaves

 "The falling leaves drift by the window, the autumn leaves of red and gold..."
I scared myself yesterday.  I put the ladder up against the house to clean out the gutter that was overflowing from the rain.  It's a long way up there.  But that's not what scared me.
To dry off the gloves I'd been using, I put them over the soap dispenser and the faucet in the bathroom.  And running in later to use the bathroom, for a millisecond I could swear a monster was coming out of the walls to get me.  Just like those childhood nightmares of ghouls under the bed.
