The trick or treaters are now all home
tucked away in their comfortable beds
she looks outside as something glides by
"i wonder who is out this late?"
she says to herself as she goes to her door
a cat gives a shriek and runs off in the alley
now here heart is racing she gets to the door
as she grips the knob the doorbell rings
she jumps and gives a scream
but now worried she looks out the peek hole
not seeing anyone she locks the door and steps away
a sudden chill goes up her back as if she is not alone
she looks about but no one is around
she then hears her name called from the top of the stairs
she sends a quiet yes, that roughly comes out
and again she is beckoned but go, she will not
she goes to the phone but the line is dead
the voice of her husband is heard
he was lost many years ago
now she is scared so she goes into the hall
she lifts the switch but nothing comes on
the power out and now the soft patter of rain falls
she begins to worry not knowing what to do
"I've got a gun" she shouts hoping that will get rid of it
"ahh but I've got my fangs" comes a cry she dreads
"ghost and goblins and creatures with fangs
are not true" she shouts to the stair way
now sitting on the couch he touches her hair
"i can hear your pulse racing, please come sit."
"no i will not, for you are not here"
"but i am and i feel a bit cold
won't you come and warm me up"
she turns to see who she feared
with a ghost white face she begins to cry
"i thought you left me, but you are dead
how can you be here messing with my head?"
"i came back to claim my wife
so come close so i may take your life"
she gives him a hug and he touches her neck
"please don't cry for i want you to die"
she looks at him with fear in her eyes
and lays her neck back for him to drink
"now my wife we will stay together for always
because of this Halloween Day."
