THE SCREAMER
Awakened
At the
Three
To a
Horrifying
Scream.
I cowered
In Mt
Bed under
Blankets
Thick.
The sound
Reverberated
Through
The
House
Like screams
From many
Not just
One.
Where
Had it
Come from,
Who was
The screamer
And why
The scream?
These questions
Raced
Through
My mind
As i tried
Calming
Down.
There were
No answers
To find
In my frightened
State of
Mind...
I closed
My eyes.
Drifting
Off to
Slumber I
Was
When a
Scream
Ripped
The air ..
This one
Worse
Than the
First.
It made
Me
Jump out
Of bed
Turn the
Lights on
And look
About...
No one
But
A trembling
Ziggy
Did I see...
He was
Asleep
Trapped in
A bad
Dream.
Rushing
I woke him
Up.
Hush now
Sweet Ziggy
It's just
A nightmare.
Cuddling
In my
Arms, he
Fell
Back asleep.
All was
Quiet
As I dozed
Off
Near the
Kitty bed
With Ziggy
In a
Hug!
