Shadow People
By: Sean Patrick Foley

I have been awake for a long time now,
and thus my mind makes midnight magic
of saddisticly streaking shadows.
I close my eyes, but sleep doesn't come/

I see him from across the room.
Watching, Waiting, and wondering when.
The darkest and deepest eyes peer, penetrate, and paralyze.
I keep praying it's just my active imagination.

He keeps coming closer and closer to my bed.
Inside my covers I forever fight my ferocious fears.
Soon the sun shall slaughter my silent assailant.
I just pray that I can make it to the dawn.
I first learned about Shadow People while listening to Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell. I've always found their concept interesting, so I decided to write a very short story about a fictional encounter. It was purely an exercise, with no actually personal experiences, I assure you.
