Around Midnight

Something’s Lurking in the Woods…

By Stormy Reign Valentine Published 4 years ago 1 min read

Something’s lurking in the woods, waiting with an insatiable hunger and thirst…

Check your watch

Watch your clock

It’s getting closer to the hour

And that something may knock

Double check your windows

Double bolt your door

If this something sees you

It’ll hunger no more

Don’t forget to say your prayers

May they get you through the night

Hope morning comes early

Your challenge is a fright

There are signs in the wind

Though your heart may be racing

There are clues all around you

That your past you’ll be facing…
