Bloody Mary

Holding a knife with my teeth, I stand in front of the mirror,

Waiting for mid-night to come.

In a dark bathroom, I stand alone, with just one candle light.

The wind blows outside, making my heart pound much faster than being on a roller coaster.

My hands tremble and I begin to cry,I feel the dark presence coming near my body,

Sudden chills run through my body.

I hear my grandfather clock ticking telling me it’s mid-night,

Then with a single blink of my eyes, I see a girl,

A girl with bloody hands,

A girl with a pale face,

A girl with black hair and eyes,

Gazing at my face inside of the mirror.

I want to turn around and run away but my body does not move.

Standing frozen in front of the mirror, I look at her; she makes my entire body shiver.

She doesn’t say anything.

She doesn’t look at anything else except at me.

She starts smiling,

She opens her mouth filled with blood,

I suddenly start screaming.

Nevertheless, she grabs my shoulder with her bloody hand.

I feel her frozen hand on my shoulder,

I try to take it off and plan to run away but her grip is too strong,

She does not let go.

Then with a sharp pain I open my eyes,

I am in my room,

I look around and there is no one else apart from me,

I realize that it was a dream.

I turned the lights on and stand in front of the mirror,

As soon as I am in front of the mirror, I check my shoulder,

I felt like my heart would stop beating.

I keep telling myself that it was a dream,

It was not real,

But when I look back at my shoulder,

I see a red mark shape of a hand.

Fear completely consumes my body,

Then the light goes out...
