The Black Quiet 2
Sitting up on your bed
Something black slithers underneath
Under your feet
You blink
And like that
It’s gone
You think you think you think
Was it real?
You feel something touch your skin
You start itching
Fear creeps in
Sounds like
A cold whisper on your cheek
Someone said your name
You freeze
As the lights flicker the door creaks
You hear stomping
Then see
Nothing
You try to scream
You fight to scream
You cry
But nothing
You see and hear nothing
It’s too quiet
But your eyes are able to move
When the lights go out
The black quiet covers your house
Crippling you
To the floor
Now I’m standing at your door!
