A Haunting.

Be careful; I might get youno matter where you go or what you do,

I just might come for you.


You won't see me standing there.

Or hear me creeping up behind

I could creep around right now and let the paranoia plague your mind.
 

Run, hide, fight, or flight—to me, it's all the same

whichever method of survivalchoose your favourite, come play the game.

 

Cower, freeze, battle, cry—here, face me, if you dare

Ghost steps beating down below, who is it? Anyone there?

 

A voice, a shadow, your racing heart—is something behind that tree?

A body? No, nobody knows; I'm at the door in three

 

Two.

 

One.
