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.

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.

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.
