Misfortune
Manifesting creaks in the mind
Following each footstep
Catapulting into spiral of fear
Barely hanging onto edge of sanity
Shadows warning of hidden dangers
Malevolent spirit sneers
Holding out gnarled hand
Bitter wind creaking inhospitable songs
Happiness crunched into nothingness
Voice shrieks
Wake-up!
Stuff and what if... 
I hope this was just a nightmare, because it is pretty spooky! 🙂 Great take on the prompt! 🙂

Thanks, Barbara. Yes, just a spooky nightmare out of my imagination. Hee hee! I almost made it more gruesome, but I thought not. 🙂

I like this line: “Bitter wind creaking inhospitable songs” One hopefully can wake up from such nightmares of fear.

Thanks, Frank. That line was a last minute change. Nice that it worked. Halloween can be a nightmarish fun house. 🙂
