Night Owls

Jerry glanced down at the photograph in his hand, then back up again at the woman sitting alone at the back of the cafe.

Years turned into decades had fuelled Jerry’s quest to find her, looking back at the photograph he smiled at the cherished memory and couldn’t believe he finally found her.

All at once a blinding light coursed through the space. Jerry and the woman froze. And then a creature appeared, seemingly from the air itself.

It let out a howl that was so melodious it made everyone at the cafe break out into dance, everyone except Jerry.
