Night Effects

The house is dark and cold,
the doors are cracked and old
it smells of decay and mildew
desperately, I reach out to you
I seek a safe place to hide
fear squeezes my heart inside
suddenly, the steel box opens wide!
something fuzzy flies by my face!
it's time for me to get out of this place!

I turn to run, and bump into a wall
blackness overcomes me,
my legs give out, and I fall!
something is chasing me!
what oh what, can it be?!

I swallow in silence, afraid to talk
the floors squeak loudly when I walk
where is the exit? I've got to leave!
suddenly, something grabs my sleeve!
I run and run, til I'm out of breath
then I'm falling, falling to my death!............

"Wake up, Hon!, you're sleeping on your back again!"
I sit up, "oh. just a bad dream!"I say, with a sheepish grin.

Seems like not too many people can sleep on their backs. I prefer to sleep on my sides. Great imagery of the nightmare!
