What lurks in the dark?
The room was cool and completely void of any signs of light.
Deep into my sleep, it was the middle of the night.
I was awoken by the feeling, that something wasn't right.
My eyes sprung wide-open, but still I had no sight.
My reaction to the situation, made me sit upright.
Was it one of my old demons, coming to reunite?
My heart pounding furiously and all my muscles tight.
Sweating profusely, I brought my hand to my brow and wiped.
I wanted to know what was there in the dark, but was terrified to turn on the light.
As my eyes adjusted to the dark.
I saw a blurry figure draped in white.
Suddenly the fireplace all on its own unexplainably began to Ignite.
The figure in white hovered across the room.
I was overcome with feelings of anxiety and doom.
I didnt know what was happening, but I hoped it would be over soon.
"What did I do to deserve this?" I thought, as the mysterious figure loomed.
Wondering to myself, what sort of demon had exhumed.
Wilted flower petals fell to the floor when only moments ago they bloomed.
My once secure bedroom now felt like a tomb.
Pulling the blankets up over my head, I hid inside my cotton cocoon.
I began reciting scripture but this entity seemed immune.
The air around me swirled like some paranormal typhoon.
Clothing and objects around the room were violently thrust and strewn.
The radio turned on in the corner, loudly screaming out a tune.
Sounds coming from the corner as if the desk was being hewn.
With all the commotion going on, I was sure that I would swoon.
Suddenly the room got quiet and I was brave enough to peek.
The figure had simply vanished, a terrifying game of hide and seek.
The firelight was dim and the lighting in the room was bleak.
"Is anyone out there?' My voice accented with a squeak.
Peering out at the shadows dancing around the room.
POOF.....the...
