Monsters

In dark rooms, we hide. Under barren mattresses and dirty ceilings. 

We wait, tracing cracking walls, and watch as the lights flickerflickerflicker out. 

No one sees us. 

We are monsters, tracing our claws along your skin, and bringing the infection in. 

We are night-terrors, taking away all your problems, and giving you a thousand more. 

We are darkness,

we are fear. 

We are terrible,

we are Here.

And tonight,

we'll get you. 

Tonight, you belong to Us.
