I climbed up
the winding stairs
Of the
derelict house with broken chairs
Cobwebs
lined the dark passages
It was
mysterious, full of secret messages
The dusty
mullioned windows, the broken latch
The old
turrets, the greasy patch
With voices
ricocheting off the walls
And
discordant cacophony filling the halls
My heart was
thumping hard all the while
I felt as if
I could drink the Nile
I crossed
the archway and reached the landing
It was so
scary, perhaps my ending...
Everything
here was still as death
A rustle
startled me, my heart leapt
I checked
twice, no one was there
I felt the
need to go, but where?
Just then a
hand gripped me tight
I didn’t
have the strength to scream, let alone fight
With horror,
my body went really numb
I knew my
end was near, I would succumb
Just then my
eyes fluttered open, my mum stood there
Oh! I heaved
a sigh- it was just a nightmare!
