Analysis of Strange Lighting
I gaze up.
Why is that light on?
The one in the highest tower?
I slowly walk up the broken tower steps.
A shadow covers the floor,
But no one is there.
The shadow walks towards me.
Hands reaching out to snatch me.
I rip away.
I feel, hear, the foot-steps behind me.
Will I ever get away?
