RUNNING


RUNNING

I was awake
When
A ghost 
I saw...

Loud, I screamed
Running
For the
Door!

I paused
On  my way
Out
And turned
Around.

Big mistake 
This was.
For 
The ghost
Caught
My eye...
.it rushed
At me
With an 
Otherworldly
Speed!

My breath
Caught
My eyes 
Wouldn't blink.

At the threshold 
I stood.

I knew for
Sure
I was
Done
For!

Inches from
Me
The ghost
Paused...

Booh!
It said
With glee
I'm no
Ordinary 
Ghost
You see
I'm you
And this,
You better
Believe!

Turns out
I was 
Running 
Away 
From me!
