The Watcher at the Edge

A burlap-headed scarecrow whose changing gaze warns whether danger approaches from the field, the forest, the farmhouse—or the observer.

A fine porcelain teacup whose black, bitter contents repeat the cruel words spoken by its owner and refuse to remain empty.

A red-and-gold guardian lion commissioned to keep wickedness outside, but determined to confront dishonesty within its own household.

A silver cage suspended between life and death, now occupied by Malcolm in the half-living, half-dead form of a bird.

The single stone that marked the resting place of four brothers whose spectral ballad still gathers listeners after dark.

Three jack-o'-lanterns containing Harold, Clarence, and Albert, condemned by Margery to sing through the Halloween night.
