An Acrostic Poem that Creates an Atmosphere

A damp heaviness hangs in the air,

The witching hour is near.

My eyes are tired from squinting into the darkness and

Owls are hooting, I think.

Scary sounds seem to be growing louder or

Perhaps it's my imagination running wild.

How did I get in this situation?

Even I don’t remember what prompted me to get in the car and

Ride with reckless abandon, aimlessly. Then suddenly...

Everything goes black.

 
Happy Halloween!
