THE HORROR
It was
Dark out
When I
Went
To bed...
Saying
Goodnight
To
Mum
I curled up
And slept.
The sleep
Was
Deep
I dreamed
Nothing!
Sometime
In the
Middle
Of the night,
I heard
A howl
And a
Piercing
Scream
I sat
Upright
Rubbing
Sleep from
My eyes
The window
Rattled
Even as
I heard
Yet another
Scream
Followed by
A loud
Growl...
I picked
Myself
Up
And ran
To
Mum.
Someone is
Out
There
I whispered
To her...
She calmed
Me
With soothing
Words
Mum said
It's only
Your own
Scream.
And the howl
Of the
Wind
That you
Have heard
Waking us
Both
My darling
Ghost!
I looked
At
Mum.
For a moment
Before
I joined
Her
In laughing
The fright
Away.
After all
It was already
The dawn
Of a new
Day!
