Spooky




     The Tower of Flints...patched unevenly with black ivy, arose like a mutilated finger from among the fists of knuckled masonry and pointed blasphemously at heaven. At night the owls made of it an echoing throat; by day it stood voiceless and cast its long shadows.

    You're right, scary ! I don't think I'd visit this place on a dreary or bright day.Regarding the line about owls, I can almost hear the noise from the description.
