The Leaky Pen

Coralville Public Library's Teen Zine

Darkness by Shanna

Darkness makes the creatures creep around my open door
I hear the creaks, is that a howl? I just try to ignore
Am I seeing dead people not that's the sixth sense
Am I sure I saw a shadow the air is getting dense
It's getting harder to breath I just want to leave
I don't want to wait for what if this is my fait
The door opens I scream!
My mom says sweet dreams
I guess its not as it seems
