Complete Darkness

A street light flickers and dies in the dead of night Complete Darkness Silence The distant sound of a dog barking Complete Darkness Silence Two chilling blood curdling screams Complete Darkness Silence Footsteps approaching Complete Darkness Then Silence!

A chilling tale. As I was reading, my wife just opened the door and made me jump. A magnificent piece my friend.

Your poem is truly haunting, Deb, with great imagery. And when read at night. It sends shivers down my spine and evokes a sense of dread. Well done!

The night amplifies all sorts of horrors. Mind you, I usually cut through the graveyard at night.
