The

Painter

of

the

Night

Someone

called

a

report

that

she

had

seen

a

man

painting

in

the

dark

over

by

the

pond.

A

police

car

was

dispatched

to

go

investigate.

The

two

officers

with

their

big

flashlights

walked

all

around

the

pond,

but

found

nothing

suspicious.

was

the

younger

of

the

two,

and

he

said

to

Johnson,

"What

do

you

think

he

was

painting?"

Johnson

looked

bemused

and

said,

"The

dark,

stupid.

What

else

could

he

have

been

painting?"

Hatcher,

a

little

hurt,

said,

"Frogs

in

the

Dark,

Lily

pads

in

the

Dark,

Pond

in

the

Dark.

Just

as

many

things

exist

in

the

dark

as

they

do

in

the

light."

Johnson

paused,

exasperated.

Then

Hatcher

added,

"I'd

like

to

see

them.

Hell,

I

might

even

buy

one.

Maybe

there's

more

out

there

than

we

know.

We

are

the

police,

after

all.

We

need

to

know."

"The dark, stupid. What else could he have been painting?"

"Frogs in the Dark, Lily pads in the Dark, Pond in the Dark. Just as many things exist in the dark as they do in the light."
