Ghouls Night Out

Beware of things that creep in the night

Midnight slowly crept up on me

As I hurried through the park

Knowing of the looming evil

That lurks about the dark,

 

The fog was growing thicker,

Halloweens chill cut the air

A full moon hung behind the clouds

I knew there wasn’t a moment to spare,

 

Then from somewhere close

A bloodcurdling scream I heard

And the sounds of footsteps coming

I froze without saying a word,

      

Standing beneath a lone street light

In the cold, the fog and gloom,

In fear of all that creeps in the mist

I was sure I would meet my doom,

 

The cries were getting nearer

I could hear them all around

The moaning and bizarre scrapping

Like a body being drug ‘cross the ground,

 

Then in an instant it happened

They came upon me from everywhere

I knew there was no hope for me

Hollow eyes held me in their stare,

 

Closer and closer they gathered

I knew death was my fate

The screams of pain escaped my being

My demise would no longer wait,

 

Now I write this as fair warning,

So the innocent will know,

“Ghouls night out” is not a joke,

Beware, or I’ll steal your soul.

And if that warning doesn't chill to the core of your readers I don't know what will. Gave me the chilly willies up and down my arms. It's one scary thing to be pursued by one but to have a mob of them? Awe heck no!!
