A Noise From the Basement

(I decided it was time for me to try a horror write. See what you think.) A Noise From the Basement By Elton Camp Marsha had the whole weekend alone Her husband on a business trip was gone She lay in the most comfortable recliner And thought such a break couldn’t be finer She slipped blissfully off into a deep sleep A strange noise caused her suddenly to leap Again it came--a mixture of roar and growl Then, with sheer terror, Marsha began to howl But when fully alert she finally came, Her reaction caused her to feel shame “I don’t need a man to protect me. What this noise is, I will go and see.” She then heard the sound some more It came from behind the basement door “With bars, there’s no way to get in What I hear surely must be the wind.” Marsha then jerked the door open wide On the steps, an unspeakable horror spied Now, reader, suppose that this was you What is the next thing that you’d do?
