I sit on the couch
watching this Twilight Zone movie
at midnight as the bell chimed
quietness echoed all around.

I was in this huge house
Windows were all sealed tight
I was invited for the night
everything was hidden out of sight
seemed quite contrite.

The kids were fast asleep
for I was they're babysitter
for which they seeked
for quite sometime
you can imagine if you took a look
inside.

The screeches from the chandaliers
the staircase with these pictures of
past ancestors seemed to stare right through
you.

I must be crazy of course sitting here
on the couch watching twilight zone
chilled to the bone, munching on my chips
to disguise the noise coming from upstairs.

I heard cries from the top floor
Though I did not want to go I was beckoned
for the sake of the two children
I was watching.

So quietly I walked up the stairs
My whole body shaking and barely
able to contain
my shivers.

I arrived at floor four
which was the top where the children
were fast asleep
walked in the pitch darkness
seemed to dress me from head to toe
then I heard a door screech open and out
came this thing, this bright red eyed
creature jumping towards my throat
It grapped on and ran it's nails
down my throat, still peacefully the kids
slept and I was mangled to and fro
my screams would not come my lips seem to be numb
I screamed, screamed to the top of my lungs
help, help me please, help.
On and on, This thing was shaking me, shaking me
Then I heard someone say wake up wake up.

Thank God I had only fallen asleep
during the twilight zone.
Of Course I took on the characters plight.

Loved that Twilight Zone. loved the re-visit through your poem.

Be well

"It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures;
but it is the loss that shapes the image,
gathers the flowers weaves the garland."-
