‘That can’t be,’ she she thought, ‘two gargoyles moving around on the roof?’ she stared for several minutes, but the gargoyles stood completely still, as she had expected; she clambered over the shallow roof, it was time to get busy – as she went back down the rickety stairs, she was going to pick a lock.

The red-head woman had been all around the old building – twice – where she had been casing the joint; there was not much there anymore, but in the basement there was something useful, it was an antique safe – all she needed was some time and patience: she had done this before.

She had her torch and her picking things; she had been at this for more than an hour, but it’s almost there; suddenly she heard a noise on the roof; a moment later she was taken back with amazement – the two gargoyles were very much alive – and bickering.

We need a new place because the old one would be replaced with a grand and tall building, and that’s no good, but where will we go?’ – ‘I don’t know where and it’s too dark to see,’ but then suddenly the full moon breaks out and all the roofs were almost light here in Montmartre.

The red-head woman could hardly believe it, she stared around wondering what might happen next; it was almost midnight as she looked down to the cemetery – just behind her – bats and owls, and mythical things – very spooky.

  2. Eerie, as a full moon story deserves, Chris.🌕
    (Lockpicking, eh? 😎)

    I see that the Flower Moon has attracted supernatural beings in Sixes… ghosts, gargoyles, winged ‘Els… Loving it.

  13. The red head woman is quite brave. Wandering around a rooftop of an old building that just so happens to have 2 bickering gargoyles? And, she plans on picking the lock to an antique safe. Already have my ticket for next week’s episode 😁

    P.S. Love that you posted on the day of the full moon.

  20. Oh… I do hope the gargoyles find a new home… and well now we are all curious to what is in the safe. And of course the life of a spooky cemetary! Keep our ‘girl’ “safe” 😉
