Night
The haunting silence of my dead surroundings
casts a menacing panic on the nerves of my brain

Dark
The secret-keeping glimmer of the shimmering spectre
shoots unknowing, all-fearing shivers down
the ripples of my spine

Stillness
The silence is broken by the subtle scratching
of the horrid, wretched beast's claws palpating
the back of my neck

Scream
The world turns from grey to black
as the mystery of my misery is lifted
out of my mind
