A Nightmare

On a dreary day, We planned to go away. Due to a navigation error, We reached the tower of terror.
The tower was dark and old, My feet were turning cold. The bats began to fly, It almost made me cry.
From nowhere came an owl, The hyenas gave a howl. The sweat was starting to pour, I scrambled and opened the door. There stood a scary skeleton, I turned and started to run.
A chill ran down my spine, When I read this sign: ‘Enter if you dare’, Oh! What a nightmare!!
Then I heard a knock, It was seven o’clock. I was in my room, After a night of doom.
