I put my blanket over my head

As the fluttering shook the window

Too frightened to even breath

When I finally saw this shadow

Was it a ghost or a ghoul?

My frozen mind couldn't tell

All was dark around me

I was already under a spell

It wide-opened the window

A frosty wind invaded me

I was sure I was going to die

Whatever this creature could be.

Two ruby-red eyes glowed

As it approached my frail body

The sharp pain on my neck

As my life vanished slowly

I got up the following day

Believing it was just a dream

But when I saw the tiny punctures

My whole body burst in a scream.
