Bump In the night

The inspiration from this came from the fear of ghosts or demons the word daimonophobia was a prompt given for the writes inspiration

I can hear it scratching and
clawing the ceiling above me.
a chill runs down my spine
as I realize its been awakened again.

any minute now I will hear its 
shrill cries calling out to me
strangling any voice left in me
spreading fear through out my whole body.

In the distance I can hear a thump
as if its coming for me.
I sit up pulling the covers tight against me
as I try to figure out where it is now.


Another scrap.

    Then a thump. 

      Another bump.

          It screams out.


I bury my head under the covers. 
cover my ears from the screams from the unknowns
that come calling, and go bump in the deep of night
