Midnight
Lying in bed with the darkness dancing around the room
The darkness is filled with laughter
Laughter from the past, the present, the future
The laughter is from the monsters that haunt your dreams
At midnight they come out and play
You try not to make a sound
For if you do they will grab you and drag you under… to their abyss
The more you try to stay hidden under your covers
The slippery they start to fill
One more tug to the chin, off it will go
You will become open… open for the hunt
You can already smell their musk odor all over you
Don’t look or it will be the end
You hear a howl outside your window
The howl is the warning sign for morning
The monsters slowly crawl back to their abyss
You step down…they grab you, under you go.
Then you wake up and you think it was just a dream
Or was it?
