Blackout!

I sat in my room Watching TV When all of a sudden Something tuned on the screen A prison escapee not far from here Was said to have been spotted somewhere near. I boarded the windows Locked all the doors Closed all the curtains And got to the floor I told myself there was nothing to fear For my parents would soon be here I worried to much, I need to calm down Until from outside, I heard a strange sound The sound of nail screeching against the brick wall It was nothing like I have ever heard, never at all I thought my mind was playing games on me Until I looked outside, not a single spot of light could be seen Was I the only person left on the block I started to worry, I stared at the clock When would they get here, where could they be Whatevers taking them so long, sure is a mystery. I slowly walked down the dark flight of stairs When I finally reached the bottom, I gasped for air I had this strange feeling running through my gut I knew something was happening, but what? I heard another strange noise coming from outside I ran to the living room, and slowly peeked outside It was my parents car sitting in the driveway, But wait, wait a second, where were they? I did not hear the opening of the door I did not hear their feet walk across the floor Something was wrong, something was not right I ran to my bedroom, and shut the door tight I hid under my bed, shaking with fright I knew I was going to die, when out went the lights.
