Darkness
By Mouse Poet
Darkness! It waits for me in my house. It waits for me to come home at night. It's never there in the daytime, but as soon as night comes, It stalks my house waiting for me. It makes a sound. It makes a sound of a hushed chainsaw idling as it crawls closer to me. The sound gets louder as it crawls closer. It still crawls closer and closer. It gets real close. It gets close enough to attack me. It looks like it's going to attack me. It raises its claws and then... I feed it. It goes away. I don't see it again. It leaves. It hides until the next day. But now I am prepared for it tonight. Tonight I want to touch it. I want to know what it feels like. Tonight I'm going to confront it. I learned some special words. When I unlock my house tonight, it will come. I will see its eyes glimmer as it crawls closer. It will crawl closer to me. It will get closer and closer. Oh no! I forgot the words! It will get closer. I can't remember. Closer. I don't know! It's preparing to attack. I remember now. It's getting ready to pounce. The special words are... Here kitty-kitty-kitty-kitty.
