What is that?

Teeth chattering, knees shaking

The wind howling, my boots are quaking

No one here but me

Or at least so I think

~

What was that?!

Out of the corner of my eye

What made that sound?!

Just behind a door I hear a pound

~

I turn to leave

I've had my fill of this haunted house

Wait where am I?

Did someone change the house?

~

There was a door

Down this hallway I swore

Now there's brick instead of a door

What's that creeping along the floor?

~

Creak creak creak

The sound grows loud

Creak creak creak

My heart begins to pound

~

Thump thump thump

Beating louder than I've ever heard

Thump thump thump

I jump when I hear the screeching of a bird

~

I laugh to myself

There's nothing to fear

Pound pound pound

Oh god what's that I hear?

~

Closer and closer

The pounding comes my way

Closer and closer

Soon it completely surrounds me

~

I hear a whisper

Behind my right shoulder

"Boo."

When I turn no one is near

~

As I turn back I scream

A torn and mangled face

Stares back at me

It screams back

And that's the last thing I see
