Demon,Demon

As shadows lengthen in the asphalt homeland The city winds down The once vibrant streets are now a home for ghosts Perhaps you feel that nightime is "Where it's at" Take heed of this warning which I give you Demons come out at night! They can cause you to lose everything by clutching you in their deadly grasp Don't be fooled by the nightime silence Demons are still about and can strike rapidly even in the midst of the metropolis Demons live on fresh flesh So keep your eyes wide open Don't linger overlong in city alleyways lest you dissapear Into shadow

Oh, it's the middle of night here, Matthew, this makes me listen to the sounds outside! I hear only the cars on the highway, there is no breeze or wind to cut off the sound. Funny, during the day it seems like there are no cars? No alleyways, but I'm happy to be in the house after reading this.:( Best wishes, Mikki
