Shhh! Did you hear that?
An errie sound, a moanful cry
Fluttering sounds of flying bats
An alarmed hiss of a frightened cat
Shhh! Did you feel that?
Something icy against my neck
Something foul lingers here
Blood drops trickle behind my ear
Shhh! Did you see that?
Beware! A skeleton! Hanging there!
A ghostly figure drifting near
Its hideous mouth ajar with fear
Ghosts and ghouls
Bats and Cats
Sounds all around
Moans! Groans! Bones!
Shhh! Did you hear that?
Shhh! Did you feel that?
Shhh! Did you see that?
Shhhhhh!

Yes I heard it, when I rocked on the cats tail after he ate the bat and the skeleton was the winner of last years hide and seek contest. the mind playing tricks can be a scary thing..good write
I'm glad I didn't read this too close to bed time.
My last job I frequently had to remove bats from people's rooms. I grew rather fond of the little buggers.
But...shhhh, don't tell anyone.

In the end they'll all be dancin'--all them ones that didn't die.... Dance with me in the shadows amidst the lightning and the thunder, and all that nu-cu-lar debris. See the big bang from the other side, and then open that cellar door. Go down into
