Booming Night
Bang! Bang!
A roaring sound erupted from downstairs awakening my sister and I,
Silence over filled the house.
My sister and I laid in our bed immobile,
I listened to her soft quivering breaths as the tranquility took over the world
But then . . .
Mama screams.
Bang! Bang!
There it went again,
Now is was silent.
My older sister Susan carried me in her arms and hid me under the bed,
“I’ll be right back,
I’m gonna see what mommy and daddy are up to, don’t come out until I return, You understand me Sophie?” Susan whispered.
I nodded my head yes and she tiptoed out of the door . . . Leaving it cracked open.
Once again it was silent,
I listened to the wind whistling outside my bedroom window,
It was soothing,
It was aesthetic,
My eyes began to slowly drift off,
But then . . .
Susan screamed which made me jump out of my dreamland.
Bang! Bang!
Once again it was silent,
But this time . . .
I was on my own.
“Susan?” I whisperedly called out.
No answer . . .
“Susan?!” I called out again.
Still no answer
Tears flooded my eyes as more silence filled the room.
I was afraid . . .
But I knew I had to be strong for Susan.
So I waited . . .
and waited . . .
And waited . . .
I waited for so long that I began to lose track of time.
Woo-Woo!
I hear a noise outside my window . . .
A different noise?
From the corner of my eye I see blue and red lights flashing outside.
That’s when I knew it was time to be brave,
I got out from underneath the bed and held on tightly on my stuffed teddy bear.
I tiptoed out of my room and down the stairs,
Moments later my feet hit the cold kitchen floor,
I could barely see anything . . . Except for the flashing blue and red lights outside my front door.
I picked my feet up and slowly began to make my way towards the door,
Splash! Splash!
I stepped in something wet,
But it felt different . . .
Something sticky . . .
Something slippery . . .
But dries within seconds.
“Hee-Hee”
I hear a faint laugh come from behind me.
I stood there in the puddle of dark liquid not moving a single muscle.
“Hee-Hee”
The sadistic laugh appeared louder this time,
I felt someone’s warm, but mephitic fear consumed me,
I could fell the presence
inching closer . . .
And closer . . .
And closer . . .
Until I could fell their lips brush against my ear.
I didn't dare to turn around . . .
But I knew it was a man.
He shushed me and whispered something in my ear . . .
Something that I’ll never forget . . .
“Bang, Bang”
