Night Creature Poem by Aram Stefanian

A thunder-boomer woke Linda up last night
She was instantly spooked and out of her head
Something in the bedroom didn't sit right
Weird rustling was coming from under her bed

An inhuman hand with sharp claws appeared
And she started to scream for help, scared stiff
The hand, scratching at her feet, quickly neared
Linda could smell a nauseating decaying whiff

She nearly blacked out when the hand spoke
And said it was a night creature, an evil hellraiser
While possessing her heart, it'd throw off the yoke
To be human, and not a handicapped heartchaser
