The Castle

The night was filled with darkness
Owl hooting to say hello.
Walking past the broken fence
brought a chill to her very soul.
Cracking of the branches
that lay beneath her feet,
cracked with every footstep.
Who will she now meet?
The car had broken down
she had to find a phone.
She walked up the steep hill
to the castle she had found.
Her small hand on the door knocker
Thump Thump it did say.
Who is waiting for her
behind the door today.
Open came the door
then the door did slam.
The rushing of the bats.
she fell down to her hands
Frightened creeping around
she hoped to find the phone.
Down a hatch she fell(aaaaaaah)
into the deep unknown.
Vampires eating dinner
were all around a table.
Down she fell through the ceiling
directly on a platter.
The Vampire stood up and said aloud
"haha! what a delicious meal."
She screamed with all her might
For this could not be real!
She jumped off the table
running with all her might;
Hearing the evil laughter
She can’t believe this night!
She came to another door,
opened it, then ran,
 a ghost floated out of the closet
and quickly grabbed her hand.
screaming aloud, she ran to find the door.
She had to get out alive,
from the terrible night of horror!
Suddenly she fell through floor boards,
landing far beneath
to a man with wrinkles like craters.

She looked into his face.

"Oh! There’s the phone.
might this be over yet? "
The man replied, "yes my dear.
That’s all your 5 dollars gets."
She knew the phone was at the end,
to the spooky haunted house,
It’s right beside the cash register,

where you pay the man on your way out!!

Happy Halloween....ooooooooooooh....
