R.E.M

Erratic static fills my attic,
echoes bounce off the ceramic,
a panoramic of panic
puts me in a manic state.

Chills tumble down my spine,
the hair on my arms have become alive,
suddenly the sound subsides,
but inept footsteps arise.

A voice as light as paper
says, "its time to meet your maker",
as I feel hands wrap around my navel,
unable to budge.

As my retinas go into fission,
it cleared all suspicions,
my cognition must've gone on an astral expedition,
for It was only the television.
