She walked
in darkness of the night Her footsteps they were feather
light Heard a noise behind her come First her instinct was to
run
Turned around to try and see Who in darkness follows
me No one there she looked around Footsteps now made greater
sound
Racing fast as she could go She had to leave this
place of woe Now she heard a sound so near Her heart was
pumping full of fear
What made her leave her house so
safe To find herself in such a place Darkness all around her
here Shadows seem to now appear
Seeing things that were
not there She'd touch them and they disappeared She didn't
know what she could do How could she ever make it
through
Upon her shoulder she felt a hand Touching her
with such command She let out such a horrid scream Wake up
dear, it's Halloween.
