And the Darkness Swallowed Her

Fear

A nervous feeling

Your heartbeat--skips

A jerk of your head--but wait

Nothing is there

A shiver

A light touch--on your right shoulder

A flicker of your eyes--but still

Nothing appears

Trapped

In the darkness

Folded into a cage

The escape is barred

A trickle of sweat

You scream--panic

Your teeth chatter--it's not cold

No one is around

You're alone--or not

A shadow

A quick movement--a breath

Stay still--but then

A whisper

You will never know it was me...
