WITCH 1: When the night is as cold as stone,
When lightning severs the sky,
When your blood is chilled to the bone,
That's the hour when the witches fly.
WITCH 2: When the night-owl swoops for the kill,
When there's death in the fox's eye,
When the snake is coiled and still,
That's the hour when the witches fly.
WITCH 3: When the nightmare screams in your head,
When you hear a strangled cry,
When you startle awake in your bed,
That's the hour when the witches fly.
WITCH 4: When the sweat collects on your brow,
When the minutes tick slowly by,
When you wish it was then not now,
That's the hour when the witches fly.

A HALLOWEEN DREAM
"Whooooo! Whooooo!" came the sound from out of the darkness.
"Wh-wh-what's that?" asked Jerry.
"I think it's just an owl," said Susan. "But I'm not afraid, because
you're going to protect me," she smiled.
