The Woman Who Watched the Birds at Jewett's Pond

In the autumn of 2019, on a dirt road that doesn't appear on any map west of Shiloh, Ohio, there is a woman named Iris who watches the birds at Jewett's Pond. She has been there since the summer, sitting on a folding chair by the cattails, never leaving. Luna met her on a Tuesday night in late October, when the fog was low and the geese had stopped flying south. Iris told her about the birds that don't migrate—the ones that stay all winter, their calls changing into something that sounds like words. She said the water knows things. That night, Luna sat with her until the pond began to hum, and the sky filled with birds that had no shadows. She's not sure Iris was ever really there, but the chair is still by the shore, and the birds still come. This is a story about watching, and being watched, and the thin line between stillness and waiting. #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #TheDeepQuiet #JewettsPond #Iris #Ohio #Autumn #Birds #Migration #Fog #Pond #Stillness #Observation #Whisper #Luna #Anthology #Standalone #Creepy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
