The old door creaked an eerie
sound,
exposing a sight as still as it
could be,
stopping in my tracks, I looked
around,
dark shadows, was about all I could
see.
With each step I took, I felt a cold
chill,
yet sweating in excitement from the
rush,
being in the old mansion gave me a
thrill,
an antique setting so rare, covered
in dust.
A picture of an old woman hung on
the wall,
a sparkle in her eye, appeared as a
single tear,
frame sculptured in gold, standing
ten feet tall,
gazing at the painting instilled a
mortal fear.
Her finger pointing, boney and ever
so thin,
piercing eyes, penetrating a
relentless flow,
and upon her face was this awful
evil grin,
at that moment, her red scarf seemed
to glow.
Emptiness of evil began to consume
my soul,
I hastened to the door, no longer
should I stay,
knowing itfs mere presence could
take itfs toll,
where ever evil lurks it tends to
have itfs way.
