Sinister sounds in the deepness of night bring chills of fear.
Is it real?
Listen closely. Hold your breath. Strain your
Ears. Did something move? Is it coming
Near? Where can you go? Where will you hide?
Commit to a plan. Act with stealth to
Escape or die!

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

This is expertly written, Bill! The way you cleverly carried a single word over to the next line created the perfect pacing to set the mood for this type of piece. And I loved the rhymes! Well done, my friend! (Looking for a place to hide!)
