Would never have taken the security post
had he known it was here
filling his vision the abandoned prison
dwarfed his six feet six frame
a history of brutality suicides executions
determined to fulfill his obligations
be rational inside the grim condemned wing
hoped the job no nasty surprises bring!
First shift was with a senior security officer
took him around the eery buildings
favored by paranormal groups to investigate
where its said the prisoners roamed
though long dead had departed life violently
their souls unable to rest or pass on
prison guards also within here had perished
their memory deeply cherished!
As he toured told of the long paranormal past
the gates now no longer locked
left open eerily quiet their footsteps echoed
on the dusty concrete floor
the power was turned off had to use torches
in a harsh and sparse interior
though in ghosts not sure whether to believe
soon different ideas would conceive!
The moment had arrived his first lone patrol
part of his work to keep away
anybody interfering with any investigations
mostly in the buildings alone
had that intense awareness of somebody near
tried but unable to shake it off
heard what may have been a banging cell door
and shouting voices but not sure!
This before the group had even arrived here
really dark and cold at any time
needed the money had to man up he thought
took a deep breath passing through
cells where he knew there had been a murder
could feel depression and fear
glad to be back in the security office satisfied
had confronted the dread deep inside!
As a child saw what he thought was a monster
inside his house while playing
just appeared from nowhere ran crying to mum
but nothing was found on searching
parents put it down to a young child’s imagination
not believing him was a life long frustration!
Through to his adulthood felt it had followed him
so here he was to face his demon
had told nobody not even his wife nor friends
as the months went by more confident
it was nothing and for all those years allowed
that memory to interfere with living
until that shift brought his reality to a conclusion
there was no longer confusion!
Fortunate that he had befriended a psychic medium
there for an event had gone with him
on his rounds and felt there was a violent entity
moving around as a blow hit him
she saw a blurry shape pass through him in a second
he staggered out followed by a loud grunt
she too was shaken and surprised at this experience
at this totally unexpected interference!
Now he was not alone at last somebody understood
after that trauma during his childhood
yet was it the same entity that had scared him so
this was the next step he now had to know!
