The Unknown

Evening my friends and family, why art thou still up at this late hour?

Since Halloween is still young, why not stay awhile and listen,

For I have a short tale to tell, don't worry it's not violent nor vulgar, 

Certainly no goosebumps while you read and getting your heart frozen.

It was night time then, I was in the backseat with my parents driving,

On the way to the church, cruising along the familiar Pujut neighbourhood,

And as usual, out of the window passing by the houses day dreaming, 

Keeping my mind to myself, peace and quiet it was all good.

Until a few seconds later…I had a sudden realization. 

Of what I saw a few seconds ago, causing some confusion.

Rewinding the images I had in my mind, even though it was for a split second, 

I still remember it vividly, something kinda weird I reckoned,

The house was kinda dark with the patio orange lights on half dimmed. 

Under the shelter, was a car. And beside the car was something grim. 

A woman in white,

Typical, isn't that right?

The woman was standing beside the car, facing the door, 

She had long black hair, all the way over her shoulders,

And all she did was just standing there on the floor,

Don't know what for, nor does her body looked sore,

But one thing for sure, she was as still as a royal soldier. 

"Ok…so that may be creepy but,

what's so scary about that?

It's not like she suddenly chased you like a swarm of gnats,

or like from that car scene from Shutter what." 

Indeed she didn't my friends, that'd be terrifying!

But remember that I said her hair was lengthly?

It was pretty long that I couldn't tell which way she was facing,

So that being said, that's really eerie if you ask me.

But then again it was dark and the car was moving fast,

Passing by that house within a second that didn't even last, 

It could have something else, like the only hanging pillow sheet,

Or a woman's white pajamas together with a black fluffy pleat,

Whether or not if it was just my scumbag brain playing tricks or treat,

Whatever it was I saw on that night at the backseat,

It kinda creeps me out every time I think about it.

So…yeah that's all of my bedtime halloween story bodyevery,

Happy Halloween :3
