The Haunted House And The Squatters

If you wander inside, you won’t get out alive.

The Haunted House And The Squatters

The house stands still, its walls are cracked,

The air is thick, the doors are black.

A chill runs deep, a silent scream,

The house is hungry; it’s not a dream.

The squatters slip in through the night,

Drawn by whispers, lost to sight.

The floorboards groan, the windows crack,

But they can’t leave; there’s no way back.

Shadows stretch and crawl on walls,

A low voice echoes through the halls.

The house, it moves; it knows they’re here,

The air grows thick with creeping fear.

The doors slam shut, the lights go out,

The house is feeding; there’s no doubt.

They scream and claw, but no one hears,

The house is alive, and it feeds on fears.

It’s in the middle of nowhere; no one nears,

Now the guests are reduced to tears.

A knife is thrown; it hits a wall,

Everyone shakes at the threats in the hall.

The spirits have a human taste and thirst;

This night will only get much worse.

They huddle in a small, dark room,

They pray for daylight to come soon.

Next morning, not a trace of woman or man,

Just a few eyeballs in a cast iron pan.

Once again, the house won, devouring losers;

The house does whatever evil it chooses.
