Granny Annex
Sometimes, in the moments before the curfew sounds, the attentive pedestrian hurrying to shelter might notice a house has an extra room or storage shed, crazily tacked on to the side of the house on tall stilts. The extra-attentive might notice the "stilts" end in big horses' hooves and look no further, breaking into a run.
Granny Annex brings her home to rest against the window of a child that is naughty or disobedient, knowing their parents will have told them never to answer a tap-tap-tapping on their shutters in the night. Even if the tapper asks nicely. Even if she knows your name. Such disobedient children quickly disappear.
