Cr-eea-kkkk
What was that?
My body is frozen
As I listen,
My ears strain in the heavy
Silence.
It was nothing,
Right?
It was a mouse,
Right?
My body goes limp.
My breath is forced
Out in a gusty sigh.
I close my eyes,
Trying to fall prey
To my exhaustion.
Cr-eea-kkk
My eyes fly open,
My heart is about to jump
Out of my chest!
My body is rigid
And I am holding my breath to the
Point of explosion!
The silence is dreadful.
I take one last breath,
As my door
Slowly is pushed open.
And wait, as
The shadows call.
