The moonlit gate

It was, by far, the ghostliest and scariest sights ever, in her memory.
In the moonlight the gate, long unhinged at one of the hinges, creaked dolefully, as it swung back and forth, with every breeze.As if a monster slumbered, snoring gently. The house abandoned long ago, the path leading to the house choked with creepers , looking like ghostly arms , crawling towards her.
She would remember"The Monster House". And swiftly shut her eyes, tight.
She wouldn't open them again, till she reached the reassuring bright lights of her porch.
By then, she would have recited "Our Father " at least thrice.  Phew!!
