The Face in the Window

Rachel began to scream with terror.

The Face in the Window

 

By Elton Camp

 

Rachael was very rarely at home all alone

But husband was on a business trip gone

Kids with friends were spending the night

So in a rare chance to rest, she did delight

 

There was no dinner that she had to cook

So she curled up to enjoy reading a book

With her feet up and in the big recliner

Rachel thought she’d never had it finer

 

After a while the book dropped into her lap

And she enjoyed taking a soothing nap

She suddenly roused and was surprised to see

That it was ten and how dark it’d come to be

 

A noise that had roused her, she heard again

The scary sound made goose bumps on her skin

The den drapes Rachael had forgotten to draw

In the window ‘twas a horrible face that she saw

 

And to her horror, there was a tremendous crash

As the prowler proceeded the window to bash

And just as Rachel started to frantically scream,

Then she truly woke and found it was a dream
