You hear a cry from nowhere
not knowing from what,
from where?
In the stillness you hear a cry,
in an hour
in the night.
You wake
to hear a cry,
a yell,
a scream, From nowhere.
Author notes
When i wrote this, it was supposed to be horror, but i pictured the scream coming from a loved one, a child, screaming in the darkness, and you being so scared for the screamer.

It was very striking at first.. It maade me wonder Who is screaming...Why...at what? I love the whole thing. It flowed and kept the suspence to the very end. Very well written.
