Nights effects

Things are not always what they seem!

The house is dark and cold
the doors are cracked and old
it smells of decay and mildew
spiderweb covered window
shows no outside view
desperately, I reach out to you

I seek a safe place to hide
fear squeezes my heart inside
suddenly, the steel box opens wide!
something fuzzy flies by my face
it's time for me to get out of this place!
I turn to run, and bump into a wall
blackness overcomes me
my legs gives out, and I fall!
something is chasing me!
what oh what can it be?!

I swallow in silence, afraid to talk
the floors squeak loudly when I walk
where is the exit? I've got to leave!
suddenly, something grabs my sleeve!
'"Wake up Hon!" says my man, "you're
sleeping on your back again!"
I sit up, '"oh, just a bad dream!'"
I say,  with a sheepish grin.

I know it starts out as a horror, but as you see, it really isn't!(:

Light horror and humor depict this writing with a beautiful flow, the passion and feel is sincere and the imagery is transporting and the meaning has a nice metaphorical seinse to it as well like not everything
is as it seens , just as you stated, which in many ways draws the reader to ponder,
I like the feel and great design, a pleasure to read
