Suddenly awake in bed, surrounded by the night. Ragged breath and heartbeats drum, fighting back the fright. Peering through the inky black, seeing, hearing nothing. Then a scurry, flurry sound, surely that was something. A brilliant flash of lightning, and peels of thunder sound. Grotesque shapes and images, suddenly abound. With a thump and tearing sound, something's on the bed. Two burning eyes and pointed ears, upon the creature's head. Relief, at last, when realized the sound of motor's purr, and feeling that soft caress could only be cat's fur. Laughing at the silliness, of getting carried away. You hardly even notice the murderous lunatic standing next to your bed with a big, ****** axe raised up above his head.

Night Terrors
