Ghostly Night!!

It was a night of blackout at my region,

And there was no trace for over miles of any beacon!

My need for a petty cash was too critical,

And to my bad I couldn't hire any tricycle

 

I started walking towards the cash dispenser

From home it was more than a kilometer!

Though in hand I had a torch,

There was trace of no one even when I search!

 

I paced as fast as could along the street,

Anxiously exhorting my feet to accelerate

Choking I somehow made it to the spot,

End of transaction was an acknowledgement prompt

With fear I skipped it asking my mind to forget,

As I could sense the raise in my heartbeat!

 

Quick were my legs to turn towards my abode,

Just realizing that I was now passing through a graveyard!

My mind started screaming that there's some danger,

When my eyes just caught a glimpse of a pale white figure!

 

With twisted legs she had a blazing lamp in hand,

Suddenly the dogs started making some weird sound

With fear my heart started pounding like never before,

I started sprinting for life not looking anywhere!

 

Suddenly I was shocked to find myself alive!

Not recalling from where that strength I could derive

Took me seconds to realize it was just a dream,

When my ears were conditioned with my Moms scream!

haha. Reminds me of some similar dreams of my own. :P

I paced as fast as could along the street,
Anxiously exhorting my feet to accelerate
Choking I somehow made it to the spot,

I could feel it while reading :) Thanks for sharing. Shallow one.

This is great, though I must ask if you wish for it to be grammatically correct? If so, you should add commas where appropriate (I can help you if need be); though if that is just your writing style I understand.

Thanks Astrid :) Your feedback helps me get better..
