Matthew Anish Poet Blank verse

Ghostly(For John Lovingiii's Contest)

Sitting indoors
            during
               a 
            rainstorm
Raindrops beating 
our a rhythm on 
the windows
      The lights go out!
Footsteps in 
the hallway!
     Who's there?
In the shadows 
       something is moving
In the shadows 
         he awaits 
         The door is opened
Our hearts beat fast
        Who's there?
   Seems like our house is haunted
         Seems like this 
night will never end
        The sound comes closer 
And.............
