I see a shadow!

Holding treat box, I walk down the street

And I gaze at all the floating lanterns above

Looking at the far haunted attractions, I cringe

Like a snail crawling back to its shell

Over the hedge, I see a shadow

Wondering what it would be, I gasp and halt

Every passing second seems to take a longer time

Bracing myself to fall into my fear pit of unwanted thoughts

Not only me, but even the tree upfront is also wavering with fear!
