Take Me Home, Country Roads by John Denver except it’s playing from your neighbor’s radio that you can hear from your back porch, which you sit out on to relax in spite of the loud buzzing from the lightbulb and the hoards of moths that flock to it on summer evenings like this.

For the “Favorite Horror Story” challenge from Month of Fear 2013.
“I wouldn’t say The Green Ribbon is by any means my favorite horror story as an adult. However, when I was a kid, Alvin Schwartz’s version of the story, as well as a similar poem by Shel Silverstein, chilled me.
