Spooky Halloween

In full moon frame hungry wolf silhouettes bark, a cloudy castle on hazy hill top looms in the dark. Through the rusty steel gate a figure in black cloak comes out as the creepy grips of opaque night choke. Arms stretched wide, he strides in air like a black bird, like the Count of Transylvania, so the people heard. As the moon reaches the top of starless steely sky, he stands at my door, to stow my fear I vainly try. Cold blue haze of eerie night smears his ashen face, before I could run away I find me in his chilling brace. With wolf's red eyes glaring, fangs protruding bloody lip, tries to touch my jugular vein, he says, “your blood I will sip. You will turn into a vampire, in Dracula’s castle I shall keep”. Scared of imminent death I wake up terrified from sleep, frozen in fear in the middle of the Halloween night. The spooky nightmare still haunts me with fright.
