Thanks for reading!

Author's Notes: For the Haunted Echoes challenge. As ever, I took a very personal approach. Nothing scarier, in reality, than my own head.

    Indeed! Don’t think I read about this challenge yet… The brain is not a nice place to be sometimes. I identify with “Terrorising”. Excellent word choice.

    Wow, excellent title and piece!!!!

  • When compared to voices in our heads, monsters under our beds suddenly don't feel so bad. Loved your poem!

    No one likes to see what's really under one's bed. But who knows what lurks in someone's head. Good job.

    Yes, monsters live in our own heads. Great haiku, Paul.

    I am loving all of the haikus. Building an atmospheric story in 11 words in no small feat. 👏👏
