Shadows

Creepy Shadows playing over the walls;
home alone and scared to death.
BOOM! Crash, thunder rolls and lightening strikes.

The shadows dance along with the pitter patter of rain.
I huddle closer into the couch;
and scream with fright as the thunder rumbles;
loud and close.

Shadows flail and wail;
I sink and flinch away.

Shadows closing in on me;
closer, closer.
I turn and search for my escape;
closer,closer.
No escape.

Frantic now;
I search quicker frantic faster.

Then all is quiet;
but what has happened?
