Whispers in the Night

Boom! A thud echoes in the darkness, Voices call out to me, Despite the cold and the night's chill, I'm drawn towards the mysterious sound. A distant voice, I start to shake, Is this for real or just a fake? I step ahead, my heartbeat slow, Not sure if I should dare to go. “You scared me!” I shout in fear, “No trespassing get out of here!” Then comes a laugh from just one side, A friend steps out, no place to hide. “It’s just a prank,” they grin with glee, But still, I feel unease in me. The wind it howls, the branches sway, And fear won’t seem to fade away. Whispers taunt my mind, Leaving unsettling thoughts behind. On this moonless, stormy night, Why play such games of fright, When fear still lingers through the night.
