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.
