The Night Watcher

The Night Watcher

 

By Craig Wilson

 

 

 

I can’t get to sleep tonight.

Someone is watching me.

I cannot see them properly.

My mouth doesn’t open.

I cannot scream for help.

I cannot move my body.

My heart pounds wildly.

My visitor stares at me.

They do not say a word.

I can’t see their mouth.

I think they're smiling.

They won’t stop staring.

I want them to go away.

Please, someone save me.
