I was asleep
but he wasn't.
Felt his hands through time,
uninvited.
I was in a dream
The school had no doors open,
He walked the halls
But no one saw
The monster within
They laughed with him
while I stared
at teeth behind a smile
claws behind his handshake
the monster behind his mask.
I ran
The gates were locked
a faceless light
pulled me out.
I saw a doll
Plastic. Hollow.
I called for someone.
No answer.
Just the sickening feeling
that no one was coming.
He still lurked the halls
The monster hidden within
I woke up.
haunted.
furious.
that I was the only one
who knew the monster within.
