Imagining Darkness

The darkness swept over me like a hawk does a mouse
The quiet mystified me
The unknowing darkness
My imagination as wild as could be
Lurking shadows turned into ghosts
Cars going down the street below
Transferred into monster roars
Dark corners where anything could hide
Tiny spiders that could crawl into my mouth
Everything reminded me of 'The BFG'
A book that wasn't scary at that time
Now scared me
Thoughts of the witch's hour at 12 a.m.
Thoughts of giants sticking their over sized fingers
Through my small glass window
Grabbing me
Pulling me
Eating me
But soon, I was asleep
Unaware of the imagination of my brain
Until the next night
