Real Spooky Hours

Theta was here

Read at night

• Twas a cold night and I was robbed of my sleep

The breeze was howling and all the light of the day was sweeped

• I was sitting on wooden floor smooth yet uninviting

Was on my computer watching cars pass by, their light blinding

• I was watching a horror film one of the old cringy ones

Where there was crappy costumes and the victims were dumb

• Tripping on nothing, and screaming for help

While the monsters chased them giving strange yelps

• My sister asleep on the couch and father sick in bed

Nothing but the heater in this house that is quiet and dead

• Across the street is a bench for the public bus

There was people there but in a silent hush

• A hooded man and a teenage girl

Maybe their family I thought as I gave my heater another whirl

• Walked into the hallway while the floorboards creaked

Letting there existence be known as they leave an eerie screech

• I smack the heater till it comes to life and my errands done

Little do i know the night has just begun

• I check on my sister and to my surprise I find the window open

I hear the bus outside and watched it as it rode in

• It seems i barely made it to watch the girl get on the bus

It seems the hooded man went in first in a rush

• But to my alarm I saw the hoodie on the bench

Why did he leave it and what is this stench

• I close the window and give the hoodie one last glimpse

It looked similar to my dads gray,crappy and slim

• I go to my room and lay back down and draw my curtains

For I am sleepy and left uneasy that is for certain

• But an hour later the heater turns off

I thought I put it on longer i got up while i scoffed

• I reach for my door but it turns back on

Maybe my dad got up and did it for me, but i was wrong

• I grew nauseous for a reason I did not know

All the windows were closed yet the stench overflowed

• I open my door to the odor of metal

The lights were off and the house felt unsettled

• Some sort of liquid was under my dads door

It gave off the odor and flowed through the floor

• I stepped on it and it felt warm

And then the heater stopped and anxiety started to form

• I walked to the living room to check on my sister

I thought it was my dad hugging her but it was something more sinister

• It turned to hear my gasp for air

The creature had no eyes, ears, or hair

• It only had a smile that violently stretched

It’s unorganized pointed teeth in my mind it is etched

• It gave a numbing shriek and I fainted

I woke up to my living room red and tainted

• There on the wall I read as I shaked

“You are lucky you were awake”

• Twas a cold night and i was robbed of my sleep

The boogeyman ate my family while they were asleep
