Fear is forbidden

Is it time?
I can feel it...
It is very near.
I hear my clock
go tick, tock, tick, tock

Is it my turn?
The footsteps I hear
HUH!! The great one is near.
A long trail of footprints
were left behind him
while he walked up
the flight of stairs.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
He's at my door...
Should I open, Should I not
At last bravery overcame me
and I opened it,
But, to my awareness
He just busted into flames.
As I stood there
In total shock!
