He Comes at Night By Michelle Dee

On a dark night, so cold a night the wind hollering at my door. Silver light breaking through my window I lay there paralysed with anticipation Suddenly he comes to me screaming my name He was there in that very room The temperature was rising I was sweating from fear not surprising I could feel his hot breath on my neck His form was changing, changing Ghostly images filled my mind He stands over me his eyes full of menace full of fire. His noise is deafening it fills the space he bends down and bellows in my face. I'm burning up now, getting hotter by the second then ..he is gone the room silent empty. He comes to me when I am in bed, does he want me ? or is he just messing with my head.
