The Unwanted Houseguest

Inspired by the Unwanted Houseguest meme. Google it on images ;)

Rain is thunderin’, roarin’ 

on mah rooftops,

Bolts of lightnin’ flashin’ 

‘cross the sky.

Ah’m in mah bed, clutchin’ 

the sheets close to me,

For fear.

For fear that I’ll 

see what I don’t want"

In the dark.

I’ve locked all

The windows and doors,

All the gates…but somehow they’re there.

Watching me.

Two orbs of fiery evil, gleaming

 In the inky space.

Sunken eyes, burning holes, gazing

At me.

Those hollow bones,

That tainted hood

He wears.

His yellow, cracked teeth,

Grinning hungrily at me.

Peeking at me from

The foot

Of my bed.

He rasps, amused,

“You locked all the windows, 

And doors?

Now,

We’re BOTH

Locked in for the night!”

And he latches 

onto my 

ankle

With his 

long,

Spiny 

Fingers.

Just for fun.
