As I crept in the night,
I heard a creature tiptoeing up the steps.
I heard its heart beating, oblivious and unsuspecting.
Tha-Thump-Tha-Thump…
Ignorant to the dangers that lurk in the dark.
In particular,
ME.
Sixteen stairs for them to climb,
And one by one they go.
So amusingly incognizant.
Tha-Thump-Tha-Thump…
And as they get closer to the top,
They just don’t know
It’s About To Go Down…
BOO!!!!
Its heart races at the speed of light.
Terror engulfs its face.
It cries and screams in terror,
And then I turn on the lights…
“What’s up, sis?”
