Halloween , the Undead Rise

Halloween , The Undead Rise How did darkness sneak into this room echoes sounding of agonizing doom Shrill sounds like chaotic dancing feet images of stabbed and rotting meat A dark mist hangs in this musty air faint cries giving any soul a scare Thumpings upon the foot of the bed glimpses of many bloody, mutilated dead Door opening to view another world objects across the room savagely hurled Ghostly apparition floating in the scene claws so long with face so hideously mean Wicked laugh coming from under the bed mangled hand sliding forth , the undead Smell of death's stinking odor so foul fear cries to just flee but mind asks how! Robert J. Lindley Note: Month of the Undead. Written for my daughter......

And of course later on the pranks that were so very funny but harmless.

Thanks for commenting guys . I remember as a child Halloween was just about the only time we ever got candy.. Then there was the excitement of the night and the childish adventure of it all stirring our young imaginations.

Robert, I enjoyed your Halloween narrative here very much. It is the season for sure for these particular writes. Your imagery is great, and I like the "Wicked Laugh" coming from under the bed. Brings us all back to when we were kids and the countdown to Halloween commenced in October. Cheers and Best Wishes, Gary
