It Stood!

In a quiet country lane it stood the house

a quaint and unimpressive place

nobody would think it was a home of fear

the couple had just moved in

full of hope and plans to work together upon

nothing then in their minds to go wrong!

In a tree lined street it was nicely situated

looked to them so homely and sweet

needed some decoration that was sure

but mainly ready for them to live in

so within a short while had settled down

in that rural part of the small town!

Relaxing everything seemed to be so good

but a voice interrupted those happy vibes

as Sally sat quietly on the large bed

shrugged it off as it must be imagination

yet had that chilly sensation deep within

this was when the trouble it did begin!

Shadows in the dark corner then appeared

the room becoming so icy cold

the closet door swinging slowly open wide

that made her jump with such a fright

feelings of misery in the dead of night!

What would happen next she thought with dread!
