Array ( [sid] => 173296 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Howling In the Night [time] => 2012-07-08 04:02:39 [hometext] => I watched too many horror movies tonight... [bodytext] => The dogs howl
In the middle of the night.

This has never happened before.
What could have gotten them so restless?

I don't want to look.
I'm scared of what I may see,
Of what I may not see,
Of what might suddenly pop out on me.

So I wait,
Cowering in my bed.

I can hear my heart
Loud and clear
Against my ear,
With the help of the pillow I rested my head on,
The cotton making it seem
Even louder.

I count the heartbeats.
One, two, three...

The dogs keep barking,
Restless and alarmed.

I start to wonder if I closed my curtain tight...

I'm starting to panic.
Four, five, six...

I pray to God that nothing serious happens,
That everything will be alright.

I can't close my eyes.
Seven, eight, nine...

A yelp,
Coming one by one.

My heart jumps in my throat,
And I suddenly fear for the dogs.

What could have happened to them?
What will happen to me?
I hear my window slowly slide open.
I was so sure I had closed the latch...

I start to cry, to shed a tear.
...Ten.

I am awake long enough to catch the splattering of blood on the walls.

Howling In the Night

The dogs howl
In the middle of the night.

This has never happened before.

Cowering in my bed.

With the help of the pillow I rested my head on,
The cotton making it seem
