Writing exercise: Miniature/Vignette

Disturbed

The whole town hid, eyes glued to their screens; windows shut tightly to block out the screams. The signal failed and left them in fear, as they pondered what creature it was they could hear. Was it man or beast or unearthly being? Whose shadow was it that they were seeing?

Their questions remained three whole days in their heads, while they huddled and whispered prayers in their beds. When finally the fourth day brought silent relief, they ventured to learn the cause of such grief. And with shock each person did find, these horrors existed just in their mind.
