Hallow's Eve

It's all academic,

they say--

foggy night,

mysterious,

random shadows, 

but how do you know about the spooks

and 

spirits that haunt Halloween night?

Give me shadows,

a quiet walk through a silent neighbourhood,

filled with pumpkins

and children's laughter,

and then suddenly 

you heard the music,

no one is around--

or are they?

Footsteps following,

hollow sounding on the concret pavement,

a glance back,

fearful--

you know the feeling,

sure of the knife wielding

pyschopath

behind the hedges,

looking for his sister?

Darken house,

crimson light

coming from behind closed doors

and humming within the walls--

is this a nightmare

or just a fantasy created in my head?

Is this at all real,

or maybe just the result of

late night horror movie showcase.
