Light

This is a story about a monster. Her name is Connie, and she's being watched by a real monster outside her window. 

Connie is a 53-year-old woman who has just moved to the countryside of West Virginia with her cat, Serendipity, when a mysterious light appears in her backyard.

Alone and confused, Connie must now figure out what the light wants as it gets closer . . . and closer.

The problem is, Connie is a curmudgeon who doesn't like being bothered by anything or anyone, including this strange light.

If she doesn't stop drinking her wine and cursing at shadows long enough to focus on why the light is targeting her, she might not survive until morning because one thing is clear:

The light is no longer safe.
