in the shadows

by chritty - Aries



in a dark wet room
she crouches in the shadows
careful not to breathe to loud
she hears the screaming and the banging on the walls
water drips from a leaky pipe
over her head
she watches in fear as a rat crawls across the floor
she can’t take this anymore
she gets up slowly and walks over to the stairs
a woman is screaming and a man’s fist goes through the wall
the girl sits on the bottom step another rat crawls across the floor
and up to the stairway
she moves out of its way it stairs at her with its beadily little eyes
she wipes the tears that are falling down from her eyes
the woman screams and the door opens
a bright light cripples the girl’s sight
she sees the shadow of a man coming her way
an evil smirk spreads across his face
in a low tone he tells the girl she better play nice
he’d hate to have to hit her mother twice

Reason for writing:

    i just made this one up :) I was feeling lonely and angry all at once and I was watching this movie so this one kind of came to me :)
