"MY NIGHTMARE"

There I sat with all the lights on

Watching TV; my parents were gone.

I was glued to a horror movie I'd seen once before

with creepy old Jack and some plans for some gore.

Outside had darkened quickly

But the inside was alight

In hope I could conquer

those bumps in the night.

As I sat there rocking, I was feeling security

Knowing the door was locked which was next to me.

But that's when it suddenly came out of thin air

The sound of a slamming door

would become MY NIGHTMARE!

The sound of the door made such a loud BOOM!

I knew right away it came from the next room.

It was at that moment I became still with shock

Because I'd remembered that door

was unlocked.

Every second my heart pounded more

Wondering what was lurking behind that dreaded door.

I calmly told myself it must be the wind

And that's when I heard

The SLAMMING AGAIN!

The first slam had scared me but the second scared me more

Because it had come from an upstairs door!

What ever this was, it knows where I am

And that's when I heard the

FRONT DOOR SLAM!

I was now surrounded

By slamming doors all about.

Petrified with fear……..

and then the lights went out.

if I could just find the phone and call 9-1-1

the police would show up and I wouldn't have to run.

the phone was close, so I inched my way

relieved that my monsters would soon go away.

i finally reached it….

and put my hand on the phone…..

but instead of dialing……

ANOTHER HAND GRABBED MY OWN!
