1600 Sutton Lane
1600 Sutton Lane had not seen people for years
expect mice, raccoons, maybe squatters
why do this?
Why? Why? Why?
No one would go with me
Fearful of dying
I laughed
Halloween is a joke for me
A bet is a bet
this one would be lucrative
pay for wedding flowers
I was all in
first couple of hours were fine
a bit dusty
some sneezing
no big deal
a flash to my right startled me
it began to zoom around the room
an entity of some sort
my heart was beating overtime
blanket went over my head
I could not calm down
frightened to death
I am silent now
