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
