Haunted House

My mother and I sat on the porch, Talking and laughing, I heard a sound, This made my heart pound. I sat frozen and still, Like I had been loaded to a fill, My mother asked to know what had happened, I told her I heard a terrifying sound. We went inside the house, Startled by what we saw, A face appeared in the mirror, It was a nightmare horror. We ran to the door, It changed to a dark store, A voice like my grandfather’s shouted, “Light!”, Suddenly, we appeared on the porch of another house. October,17, 2024.
