On Halloween Night

On Halloween Night A slight hollow snapping noise crept up from down below Barely audible above torrential rain and lightning Seeping through the walls into my gloomy room A power outage turned the mansion black as death A candle and one match was all I had to investigate To navigate this mystery The crackling sound grew louder As I trembled, fell down the flight of stairs Head hitting concrete there Red blood spilling everywhere The basement became confused and changed An eerie form of horrors took its shape A structure not found or known in heaven or on Earth Came into view, from what could be surmised, an opening An unholy hole from hell itself Before my crying eyes appeared right there Some multi legged smelly creature lurking by the portal, came whizzing in Another foul being emerged from darkness into this twilight zone Slithered without a word in my direction My candle had gone out The filthy obnoxious thing, grabbed me with icy slimy claws By the red light of hell's burnt tortured soulless glow I saw the monsters bulging green and moldy eye up close As it cracked my bones and dragged me down Mystery solved at last At least I found the clues and cause of these events First detected in my gloomy room A slight hollow noise which crept up From down below on Halloween night And my bones still make that very same sound forever through the house 8/28/14 On Halloween Night contest
