Run!
One foot hopping,
One foot go,
Through the muddy bog below.
Run if you can,
Run if you might,
Or turn on the hunters and fight.
One eye watching,
One eye blind,
Keep pitfall and ambush to mind.
Run if you can,
Run if you may,
The hunters will catch you today.
One ear deaf,
One ear hears,
Silence your breath and your tears.
Run if you can,
Run in the mud,
The hunters are coming for blood.
One house empty,
One house bright,
Safety appears in the night.
Run if you can,
Run in the door,
The butcher is waiting for more.

Audrey Niffenegger
If you thought Audrey Niffenegger's first book The Time Traveler's Wife was good, you have to get her latest novel, Her Fearful Symmetry. It is a ghost story set in and around the historical Highgate Cemetery in London. While it is different in most ways from her earlier novel, it is fantastic and satisfying to read. You can find it on Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble. There's a good reason her first book is a number one best seller for the second week of October 2009 NY Times Paperback bestseller list.
