Flickering lights, an unusual fright
Sitting alone
Scrolling through my phone
A curtain shifts in the moonlight
A door creaks closed, a breath of wind
I suppose
Window left open, I'll go close
Wham! the door slams open seemingly on its own
Shattering lights, pitch black
A scream so loud, my mind about to crack
I scamper for a door, futile in my attempt to escape
Black eyes impossibly stand out in a already black house
Fear holds me from releasing a tear
A dark figure, claws twisted, rippling muscle
pure white teeth glistening
Run screams my mind, legs a failing
One step, two steps, three
Looming above me a crooked smile forms on rotten lips
It has me in its grip
Open my eyes, heart rate raised
I feel completely dazed
A nightmare of the crazed

Looming above me a crooked smile forms on rotten lips
It has me in its grip
Open my eyes, heart rate raised
I feel completely dazed
A nightmare of the crazed
