In the dark of night, a nightmare born
A twisted tale of evil sworn
A demon's laugh, a banshee's cry
A haunting vision, black as the sky
The monsters lurk, within my mind
Their claws and teeth, sharp and unkind
They chase me through the shadows deep
A never-ending cycle, I cannot sleep
I try to flee, but they are fast
A terror grips me, it will not pass
I scream for help, but no one hears
Trapped in this hell, my worst fears
The evil nightmare, it holds me tight
A grip of fear, a paralyzing might
But I will fight, I will not yield
For in the morning, this nightmare will be sealed.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
