Java Night
by jay andrew anderson-taylor
Slowly I did creep down the stairs to see
what it was... Creak! Creak!
Went the first step. Me afraid? Never that, I just
need to see what was making all that noise
downstairs in my house...
My heartbeat was now so loud I could barely hear
my own thoughts... Thump! Thump!
With each beat of my heart, my head did swell
even more.
Closer towards me did the sound come and
as I reached the last step, I could see a shadow
pass in the light. Now I was scared and did start to
sweat.
As I then turned the corner where the shadow last
went...
I could hear a sound from the kitchen inside the
sink. Clank! Clank!
Then, it sounded like pots falling from the shelves.
As I entered the kitchen and reached for the light...
Something knocked me off my feet as it pounced
into my chest!
I did scream in fright... Ahhh! Only to realize, it was
just my silly old cat. Seems I've had too much hot
java on a cold Halloween night.
