PROMPT: Haunt
"A Ghost?"
It's the middle of the night
And you're all alone
Suddenly you hear a sound
A thud from the other floor
"What's that?" you wonder
Absolutely terrified
Hoping it wasn't a ghost haunting your house
Preying on your fears tonight
You try to calm yourself down,
Maybe it was just your cat
But you remembered the the feline slept with you
And is now meowing at the darkness
Shivering now with fright,
You try asking, "Who's there?"
Your question was met with silence
And the sudden chill from the night air
Finally you gave up,
Now completely overwhelmed by your fears,
You huddle inside your blanket
Praying for morning to come
So that you would no longer be swallowed by the darkness
Then morning came and you cautiously went downstairs,
In case the "ghost" was still there
But then you realized,
It was just your brother, sleeping on the couch
Who hurriedly snuck in last night and accidentally knocked over your kitchenware
