Visiting Spirit: Dark Fantasy

The middle of night was shining down in pinprick stars through the black velvet sky when the spirit came visiting, attracted by the fine offering of bread and wine laid out inside the night-dark altar or remembrance. The silver bells fringing it jingled just a little, making the plastic skeleton hanging to the side start chuckling mechanically as its eyes flashed orange and jolting me awake. I saw the glazed donuts desiccate before my eyes and watched the level of the wine sink. A slight indentation sank in the soft bed I'd made inside the remembrance altar and I knew my attempt to lure a spirit back had worked.
