Creepy

The night was deep I could not sleep The body was hot and so were my clothes With my mind in a whirl, I stretched out my foot, when I felt a hand curl Over it. Every hair on my body began to rise, so did my eyes In reflex I pulled my leg back inside, my heart pounding I nearly died With fright. Mind racing, what should I do? Then the mattress from underneath moved too. My body stiffened as it pushed up, then down I felt a swelling in my throat and a scream tore from me into the dark. Simultaneously I threw the covers back, tumbled and fell into the black Then the laughing began, low and growling, my head was spinning I slammed into the door, then a body slid out from the floor And my kid brother was led there grinning.
