Don't You Dare Scream!

Just something for the Halloween contest: based on local lore. A bit of truth in it to. [help..]

Hover your eyes away from this screen,
and peer into your nearest corner: BUT DON`T SCREAM!
go ahead, I'm deadly serious, I'll wait...
peer into that corner for a few seconds mate.















Now back at me,
you done? I hope so. 
what you unknowingly engaged was a being we all know.
Perhaps you have no clue of it's name,
but nevertheless, it exists all the same.

Now you probably have that feeling in your gut to stare back,
that corner seems a bit like a concern to turn your neck,
but no friend, that guy, you know him, the one without the name,
is staring right back at you---for years it's been doing the same.

Now that presence is growing stronger and all for good reason,
A good stare at that corner is seen as bad treason,
Halloween? HA!
Ghouls and Goblins?
The least of your worries come tomorrow morning.

Now friend, you have two choices, you either confront you tiny guest,
and please, no insults, the last guy who did that left quite a mess,
again, I'm serious, peer back into that corner,
and I dare you to say "hello" without feeling you have to call your mother.

See, there's A frequency of light us humans CAN see,
then there's so many more frequencies that we cannot even comprehend,
this is a science, when broken down, to educate you and me,
so your friend in the corner is as real as can be.

Search back to the spirit phone that Thomas Edison invented,
No really, he knew what beings stood unaccounted,
now tell me if I'm lying when I tell you this secret,
that thing in the corner is just waiting for your invitation,
Halloween or not, it awaits your attention.
DON'T LOOK AGAIN! I'M TELLING YOU, KEEP YOUR EYES ON THIS SCREEN!
AND AGAIN, I BEG YOU, DO NOT SCREAM!!!

Now here`s the last step, slowly get out of your chair,
without watching that corner, act like your just going for a beer,
get out of that room, ohhh, leave everything behind,
and return in an hour or so and tell me,
is the room exactly how you left it?

Look up to the ceiling...look on your walls.
but before you decide to make the call,
just realize that the being has left that corner.
It's just coming closer to you now,
no big deal...just sit there...

When I read this last night, I was so freaked out by it that I dropped my computer to the floor and ran! Haha,thanks for the sleepless night.:)
It was a really great piece of writing, and it's usually hard to make it all rhyme and make it all make sense, but you did it perfectly

This is a very entertaining and innovative piece. Perfect for the month of October. Just a question: Why do I have his creepy feeling down my spine...Is something watching me?
