a stalking stare

from under a chair

a moving door

a creaking floor

a sudden flash

as something zooms past

an eerie cry

from the darkness outside

mysterious footprints on bedspreads

terrifying thoughts in my head

heart beats fast, so drastic

something flies by my head ...

an elastic??????

clock says 8

i'm an hour late

no time to react ...

I have to feed the cat

common Ghost

its time to eat
