My throat suddenly tightens and my eyes begin to
water as my heart beats fearfully out of control,
when the ancient clock chimes the midnight hour.
I sit in horrified silence as the warm light of
my candle is strangely snuffed out by a chilly draft.
Eerie voices begin haunt the stillness of my bed chambers.
In the electric silence objects mysteriously begin to
quake and shake as though touched by an unseen hand.
An unearthly racket erupts terrifying me as my bed begins
to shake and the room starts to spin out of control.
Suddenly the clock strikes one o'clock ending the eerie
haunting,and returning everything to normal as though
nothing had ever happened.
