The door creaked open

As I lay in my bed

There were no words spoken

I must’ve misread

My overactive imagination

Fearing it not earthly bound

The normal settling of my environment

There’s nothing stirring round’

I convinced myself to dismiss it

And nestled in my bed

It suddenly slammed shut

I lifted my head

This time dangling my feet

Grounding them to the floor

Inch by inch I crept

Laying hold of the door

I worked up my nerve

Widened the crack

Only to see another door open

And a breeze at my back

To another room I walked

Across the corridor I went

When I fastened the suspicious door

Another door bent

My breathing labored

Sweating

None of this made sense

Until I saw an open window

At the end of the hall

Then I thought “bingo”

Did I leave this thing open?

Hm?  I don’t recall

I breathe a sigh of ease

As I secured it tight and compact

I believed this entire ordeal over

Until I heard laughing behind my back
