Heard a distant chatter coming from the end of the hallway
The Words somewhat unintelligible
My ears popped when I tried so hard to listen
Though the talkers faces were partly hidden in the dark
They were horridly serious
And I knew not why?
My heart wasn’t my own at that instant
It raced, it skipped
My throat and mouth devoid of all wet
I couldn’t tell why?
When the talkers looked over their shoulders
And their hollow eyes met my own
An awe feeling enshrouded me
Except I couldn’t tell why it was so?
A dark shadow with spread out tentacles loomed over their heads
It kept drawing close and closer
As it drew close, the air in my lungs vacillated
The temperature in the hallway dropped
And I started to shiver from where I stood
I couldn’t grasp what was unfolding before my eyes, perhaps I was just too petrified to
Though the horror was unmistakable
I wasn’t in a dream of any kind
Neither was I awake
I was somewhere in between
I am a sleep walker
And before me where my parents
And they had been awoken by my late night stroll
My mind as usual was at play, at play with all the filth it conceals,
Nay the fear it conceals
The fear I conceal
For I long for one, just one peaceful night’s sleep.
