I'm not insane. I swear to God, I just wanted to help her. To reach out and save her. I grabbed her, to urge her to move. That's when I recognized the terror on her face.

[b]5[/b] The clock’s tick is a slow blade, cutting through the silence, fingers cold on metal chains— it’s only minutes now, my breath tearing through my chest. [b]4[/b] I can hear them—footsteps, too close, too far, scraping keys, rattling, the air, thick— I choke on it, wait. [b]3[/b] The light through the bars feels wrong, like it’s burning me— I can’t escape, the walls closing in. [b]2[/b] The door cracks open, a figure, a...

Screech of owl with shrieking caterwauling doesn’t startle me at all until wings shroud the sky. My blessed-courage takes cover real fast as the rodent alongside’s encroached on by talons.

He was a director by trade With little or no pretense And throughout the world he is known As the master of suspense Sounds of the audience screaming Was the one thing that mattered The crowd on the edge of their seats Where hearts pittered and pattered No matter which movie you see His films will keep you sighing Leaving hairs standing on your neck And...

A boy is an undead While a girl is a leatherhead Mom and dad find a severed head The front yard is now flowing in red. What caused this bloodshed? From tombstones and crypts The moon disappears during its eclipse Followed by eerie sounds and eyes that transfix As if waiting for someone with a bag full of tricks...
