in the cover of darkness's night
a shadow creeps
a twig cracks
a child screams
with a racing heart
i run into the scene
a girl on the ground
already dead and beyond my help
a man standing in front of me
in a black coat
and i realize now he is naked underneath
he towers above me
and my throat tightens
i know, without being told,
he will kill me
without a second thought
the terror that obviously binds me
makes him smile and show yellow teeth
oh yes he loves his victims scared,
scared ready for his assault
and with one swift movement
he is there
tearing off clothes violently
biting at my mouth and neck viciously
he has me on the ground in only a second
and he is inside me in another
i scream, i beat at his back
i do everything i can to free myself
yet it is useless
i feel my life slipping away
and so i let it come,welcome it,
for the pain of death is nothing
absolutely nothing compared to the pain of this man

What a terrible thing to happen. Very chilling and scary. Definitely what nightmares are made of. Thanks for entering and good luck!
