Run
The cold night made me tremble
I couldn't feel my heart beating
My hair blew in the chilly air
The moon was in the horizon
The big dipper was right above me
A howl I hear in the woods right behind me
I couldn't move, wouldn't move
My racing heart had about enough
Within a second the temperature drop -15 degrees
I pause mentally to enjoy this feeling of excitement and fear
I hear sticks breaking so the howling creature was getting close
My feet are ready to guide me
I feel it getting closer and closer
Just as I lift my feet I feel it jump out of the woods and I run and run and run with the cold air to survive
