Bump In the Night

I heard a bump in the night My skin is crawling, a fearful fright Will it claw, will it bite Can I make it to the light It must be a ferocious beast A ghoulish monster at least He wants me to be his next feast I'll soon be among the deceased I just can't stand it any more My running feet hit the floor Stumbling, fumbling toward the door Praying I'm not done for I thought I'd been had It was going to be bad Escaped with my life I'm so glad Jumped into the bed with mom and dad

When your young you watch things on TV and in the dark of night it plays on your mind and whatever it was growing bigger and fiercer by the minute. Tom.

Yup we scared our selves many times. when I was a kid I got terrified when I thought I heard banshees wailing in the night. Come to find out it was my auntie practicing her church hymns in the basement.
