Haunted House
The door ran open as I walked towards it.
The floor boards creaked as I walked over them.
I was standing under a hanging dagger with blood
leaping from it.
There was a noise like someone being murdered.
I felt scared.
As I walked up the stairs,
the light sprinted from side to side .
My spine shivered as I heard a footstep.
I walked into the bedroom.
I could near the shower go drip, drip, drip
like blood dripping off someone.
I FELT SCARED!!!!!!!
