In The Dark It Follows by B Thomas Daniels Sunday, October 26, 2003 Share Print Save Become a Fan
Through the pouncing shadows Moonlight’s full peering Past the glaring oaks My way I must find Every bush a hidden terror My breath is shallow and quick A howl in the distance Sends my heart racing It beats so loud I know it can hear me I begin to pray to myself Oh God please get me home Each step I take echoes Or is he closing on me now AN AXE ABOVE MY HEAD! No wait it’s just a tree A scream, I know I heard a scream Whew it’s just a loon The fog starts to flow around me I can not see the ground I take another step Then I start to fall I’m screaming when it grabs me Crying I cover my face It pulls me in to crush me And at once I am awake My mother’s arms hold me close She saved me from that place

I must be off skelter. I started smiling at, "AN AXE ABOVE MY HEAD! No wait it’s just a tree." I could feel the playfulness in this piece. Nice howling write Mr. Daniels. ~ Sara
