Within The Shadows

Tired and weary
I fed and brushed
My old pinto, for the night
Making her comfortable.

I leaned against and old
Adobe wall
Along my traveled road
On my way home.

I thoughjt I was alone
A few minutes later
I heard and felt
Stirring within the hideous
Shadows
Of the darkness.

My body, was pounced upon
I was unable to move
An unseen entity
Had a hold, upon me.

I felt it's breath
Hot and slimy
Smelled like death
The moon that night
was not shining.

I could not move
I could not fight
It growled into my ears
sounds of horror,
I'll never forget
I prayed, Again I'll never hear.

Within my mind
My thoughts collide
To form a prayer
T'was like a key
I was released.

You tell such strong stories with so few words! I can see and feel the moment with intense clarity. Another piece very well done.

Haunting write that chills the bones, William, very well written!. I think there are entities that sometimes almost become manifest and it's their strength of trying makes the air thicker and if we're in it's vicinity we feel like we've been touched or embraced. I've had it happen and that's how I felt.

Wow, what a fright
I was walking one time, and it felt like something had a hold of my back, but nothing was there. Scary, maybe it was a demon.
Great write William.....
