The Face In the Window
The Face in the Window
By Elton Camp
Rachael was very rarely at home all alone
But husband was on a business trip gone
Kids with friends were spending the night
So in a rare chance to rest, she did delight
There was no dinner that she had to cook
So she curled up to enjoy reading a book
With her feet up and in the big recliner
Rachel thought she’d never had it finer
After a while the book dropped into her lap
And she enjoyed taking a soothing nap
She suddenly roused and was surprised to see
That it was ten and how dark it’d come to be
A noise that had roused her, she heard again
The scary sound made goose bumps on her skin
The den drapes Rachael had forgotten to draw
In the window ‘twas a horrible face that she saw
And to her horror, there was a tremendous crash
As the prowler proceeded the window to bash
And just as Rachel started to frantically scream,
Then she truly woke and found it was a dream
