Charge

Where am I?
I’m trapped.
I see monsters,
Big,
Black,
Scary monsters. 
Is this going to be the end?
I must escape.
But how?
Is this really happening? 
Can I really do this.
I must.
I have no other choice.
I have to see my family again.
I will see my family again.
Okay…
I will take three deep breaths,
Then I will grab my knife and run for the Exit. 
But where is the Exit.

Ah it’s at the other side of the room.
Okay,
3...
2...
1...
Charge!!

There are five monsters,
all running at me.
What am I supposed to do?
This is the end
I know it. 
I’m halfway there,
Halfway to the exit.
They are feet away from me,
Feet away from having me as dinner.
I duck,
I run faster, 
I hope for the best.
I push the door open and slam it closed behind me.
I’m safe.
I’m never going through an odd door again.
