Chilling
We played the game, the horrid game
Of tricks and candles in the dark
Reciting a name, a horrid name
Our hands started moving on their own
We asked it questions, horrible questions
The Spirit presented a forthcoming omen
We shook our heads, our foolish heads
We blew out the candles that night
Suddenly the room grew cold, oh too cold
Chills were felt through out our spines
Then a gash of light appeared, appeared it did
Turns out it was the fridge lay open bright
One of us screamed, a hideous scream
She claimed it stank of rotten eggs
One of us fainted, dramatically fainted
He claimed it was not the eggs
From there we were curious, curious we all should have been!
Upon inspection, it was just spoiled milk
From there we cried, a loud shared cry
Because we realized we just drank that milk!
Was this the omen, the woe-filled omen?
We all thought as we touched our stomachs
Was this the omen, the painful omen?
But then, who last opened the fridge?
