Description
I enter the house in the dying light,
Shadows growing,
Eating away at all that is sane and rational.

Every sound seems amplified in my fright
As I open the door for I know not why.
The gloom sucks me in
And some unseen hand pushes me onward.

What ghastly adventure lies ahead?
I can only wonder
And tremble in fear as I enter the room.

What was that?
A shadow there where none ought be
In the corner of my eye.
I turn, but it's gone as quick as it came.

A sound, creaking, slapping
Like footsteps in the floor above.
I was sure I was alone
But was that really true?

I go up the stairs to investigate,
But I feel a chill run up my back.
I quickly turn to look
To see a mist fade away.

What had been there now gone,
Frightened, I went on.
I saw footprints where I had heard them before.
Red, they went across the floor and stopped at the door.

I look up to see a face.
Ghastly, it screams
And I awake,
Glad it had been nothing but a dream.
