This post was actually going to be entitled ‘Creeped Out’ but spellchecker doesn’t like the word Creeped. In a flash of inspiration, Crypt Out filled the void!

Shadows followed me wherever I looked,
The wind howled through the trees outside.
Footsteps followed me as I walked,
Yet when I stopped, they stopped.
Strange noises echoed into the night,
One here, one there, one here again.
I felt a breath upon my neck
No – it was a touch – a hand!
I turned quickly, yet no-one was there.
Another noise caused me to turn again,
A black cat ran by ahead, eyes glowing
Screaming, chasing or being chased?
Tapping ahead – or behind – hard to tell
Not tapping – beating
A heartbeat
My heartbeat
Pounding
Pounding
Pounding
A noise
I hold my breath
A scream
I run
Into a wall…!
Lost
I’m lost.
But I can hear the outside.
I can hear the safety and the freedom.
Just have to keep moving forward,
And not allow the fear to consume me.
The darkest hour is always just before dawn.
