Haunted House

Creeping, crawling, braying, bawling What’s that sound inside my wall? Scratching, grasping, voices rasping Through the door I shakily crawl. Heavy breathing, gasping, writhing Something grasps and pulls me in. Screaming, I am somehow diving Into unknown worlds within. Shapes and figures make me shiver What’s this hell that I have found? Down the dark black Styx, the river I am floating, now hell-bound. I am gone from Earth forever No one knows where I have gone. Burn the house down so that never House traps victims, Devil’s pawns. 10/5/2021
