Ragtag Daily Prompt Friday: Eldritch
As i walked
among the
rows
of shelves
i could see
could feel
the eyes
upon my being
drilling into my
flesh
a bead of
sweat
trickled
what am i
doing here
what was that?
footsteps!
no a scraping
was that breathing?
Darkness enveloped
again
footsteps
No……i am alone
among the shelves
something sent
a breath
a breeze
across my face
more sweat
i am alone
eyes
i feel
upon me still
among the rows
of shelves
i walk
suddenly
there
in front of me
A jump back
recoil
i turn to run
a look
of horror
of shock
it’s there!
As i walked
among the
rows
of shelves.

Oh, I felt the tension as I was reading!
