IN THE DARK By Alicia A. Sonneville         Are you sitting in the dark? Maybe you are circled around the flames of a campfire or perhaps you are alone in your room at night after the sun has long since set.          Do you ever wonder what those noises are- the ones that seem so very close, but you can't quite see what's out there? I can tell you what those noises are. Shhh. Come closer to me. Don't be afraid, I am only the teller of stories. I can share with you the secrets of the dark, but beware. You may be saddened, you may even giggle those nervous giggles that uncontrollably take over your mind, but you will be afraid. Because remember, you never really do know exactly ...... what's in the dark.
