Alone in the Night

Quick, look behind you!

Inky blackness

Spills into itself. 

Do you feel their eyes

Watching you 

From the darkness. 

No, don't look now! 

Hideous creatures,

Bleeding night,

Slithering so close. 

Do you feel the chills

Race up your back. 

Yes, keep walking! 

Not too fast though. 

They can taste your fear. 

But something 

Far more sinister

Lies in wait

As you move

Alone in the night.
