Could hear a distant clock Strike Twelve midnight
it was now the new year of 2019
all around the explosions and colour of fireworks
she had drunk a lot but felt feisty
just slapped a friend who had become too familiar
it was an annual celebration
seeing in another year with all her school mates
reminiscing laughs and debates!
But this time a distinct uncomfortable atmosphere
had to get out of the noisy party
she found herself wondering dark country lanes
it was not frightening alone at first
until the fireworks had ended becoming so quiet
being a town dweller the countryside
was unfamiliar territory without a coat was cold
scared wanted somebody to hold!
She could hear strange noises and animals sounds
she guessed that was the explanation
had aimlessly wondered moving away from the party
unaware something nearby was stalking
the cold began to make her shiver clearing the mind
snow began to fall coming to a halt
turned to go back as a spider-like creature descended
from the trees feared her life had ended!
Instinct and adrenaline gave her strength and power
ran into a field visibility being near zero
tripping and scratching herself staying by the hedge
could sense it was following close by
how could it grow to such a huge size pondered
to scared dared not look behind
saw a light prayed it was where she had walked out
now filled with panic and doubt!
There was no sounds that had become so very loud
reached the garden wall climbed over
scraping both legs to escape the thing chasing her
in pain and bleeding got to the rear door
yes this was the place but now no drunken revelers
going inside the spider had caught up
Just managed to close it thought this thing contained
but a tentacle pierced her skull brain was drained!
Awoke shouting her boyfriend trying to calm her down
its alright C J another of those nightmares
never known you to have so many whats on your mind
settling down covered in sweat so real
shaking it off ignored his question but was concerned
having a cup of coffee got a text from a friend
inviting her to a New Years Eve party in the countryside
quickly accepting to her friend replied!
For a few moments shuddered thinking of that nightmare
just a coincidence no such thing as giant-spiders out there!
