The rain had stopped at long last
deep puddles covered the road
a driver and his girlfriend stopped
in a layby that came into view
approaching an empty lorry trailer
its rear doors were open wide
saw a pale figure staring their way
trying to keep fear at bay!
It was no longer visibly in sight
yet both sensed something
rain started to fall once more
heard tapping on car door
a bony hand on the windscreen
as engine stopped running
as everything became so icy cold
in the back seat it did unfold!
Little time to scream as it attacked
in the layby on a dark wet road
the beast claimed more victims
yet not a mark upon them found
was this an urban legend of a girl
that had haunted this back road
for years the reason was unknown
seeking couples on their own?
It was just one story I had been told
so decided to come myself
certainly a depressing area to be in
few cars ventured this way
night fell drove down to alleged spot
parking in an empty layby
there was a full moon high in the sky
heard a distant coyote cry!
Shivering with anticipation and the cold
saw what was a figure walking
slowly my way as it drew nearer saw
something never seen before
the car then stalled so helpless got out
not going sit and wait for trouble
camera was ready to capture phantasm
as my body began to spasm!
Awoke from a deep sleep in a hotel room
shaking it was just a nightmare
continued with my journey over moorland
to the remote cottage for a holiday
realising it looked familiar rain began to fall
turned into that layby I had seen
as the dream became reality now had to face
my fears in this lonely place!
But to my relief nothing happened glad to say
as I quickly moved wearily on my way!
