Goosebumps

It's a cold winter day,

and I'm sitting on my front porch steps.

I lost the keys again, and my mother's upset.

She doesn't get off work till seven,

and our neighbors have just left for vacation.

I realize it's getting dark now,

so I sit and stare at the frozen scene.

A couple minutes pass,

and my arms scatter with goosebumps.

Only this time, I can't blame the chilling weather.

I look up to see a dark figure,

holding a dripping, dark red dagger.
