Horror

I watched a horror movie at a birthday party

a hangout with my girlfriends

I like being scared

 

We had fun

not thinking about we'd have to

go home

alone

sleep in the dark

turn the lights off

afterward

we weren't thinking

we had candy and each other and jumpscares and horror

and it was all good by us

 

It was a good movie

a maybe-predictable plot twist but

so bone-chilling

we screamed ourselves hoarse

good mystery, good suspense,

enough blood and gore to satisfy us but

primarily

creepy

what's going on

WHAT IS HAPPENING TO NANA

spooky

 

So I went home afterward

and realized

that Nana could be in my room

couldn't she

creepy

scary

possessed 

Nana

writer's brain out of control

crawled in bed with

lights on

in my room and the hallway

didn't fall asleep until

2 a.m.

I like being scared

I hate the aftermath

 

As soon as the sun rose I was

fine

until it set again the following day...

slightly less horrified

but still

when my brain is set on

there's an evil grandmother trying to kill you

crawling around your bedroom with a knife

there is nothing

nothing

that will console me

I slept with the lights on again.

    I think we need a little extra here so

    I got defensive too.
