A Night of Shadows

As she lays sweating under the hot, yet comforting blanket she bites her lip, balls her hands into her fists just to keep from screaming and falling to sleep. Dancing on her walls are the shadows! Shadows you couldn't even imagine they seem to be grinning at her as if they knew something she did not know. Do they know something are they trying to tell her what there is to come? She can hear someone or something calling her now; she does not know what it is and does not want to know either. As the voice gets closer it becomes more frightening and louder and louder. Slowly the tears dwell up in her eyes and than burst rolling down her like a balloon ready to pop. Several hours ago by the windows she saw 'ghoulish' activity, her eyes are heavy fighting to stay awake a little longer so she will know when every thing ends. She falls asleep to wake up later realizing that it was not a dream but 'Halloween'.
