Every corner i turn. They’re everywhere. Creeping around in the dark like possum. They follow me around like flies. I feel the monsters all around me. I should’ve gone home at nightfall. Instead, I got trapped here. In the middle of a sea of children going door-to-door begging other people for candy. Some dressed as witches. Some dressed like vampires. One even dressed like the Grim Reaper.
      There was a group of teenagers dressed as zombies going around and scaring little kids. They would hide behind corners waiting for their next victims to approach so they can jump out and send them off screaming. I wasn’t afraid of the children in costumes or terrorizing teens. No. I was scared of something more powerful. Something that EVERYONE was afraid of.
      I was afraid of the real monsters. The true demons of the night.The people who really were gonna “get you”. The people that follow you down the street and wait for you to be alone. They want to corrupt all your innocence. They want you to fear them. They want to use you. They are like hungry predator that lure their prey to right where they want them. When they are there, THEY POUNCE!
