The Haunting at Walmart    

At first I thought it was just a lack of sleep hallucination 

Working the over-night shift at ‘Wally World’, alone  

But near four-am, there it was! I was hearing it again

Something fell on the ground in the produce aisle

A voice called my name from out the dark shadows

Had a door been left open by accident? A possibility

So I walked to the office and checked out the security

No, everything showed up green; just me in the building

One at a time I turned on the bright lights,

not a soul could be seen or a movement detected

 Then I heard it again, in the Halloween section

 someone in flip flops, wandering; it sounded like   

So I stood defiantly, carefully looking all around

 I shouted, I was ex-CIA, Navy Seal, and didn’t fear Satan

But not a shrill or a peep; silence was the only sound

When I decided to walk away, the lights went off and on

Section by section, and the voice called my name again

I wanted to run, but my feet were sticking, knees buckling

 heart pounding out my chest 

 Out went the lights, and stayed out, I saw the ‘exit’ sign

And ran like a legion of demons were chasing close behind

My hand hit the glass, body ricocheted, and I fell on the floor 

Shaking like a leaf, I forget the code to opened the door

when I saw the clock, say 11:11; I quickly punched that in;

 a voice in my head saying that it was four in the morning.

 And It worked, I was outside, safe in the empty parking lot  

 Then the front door slid open by itself right in front of me

  A rat scurried past the garbage can and ran into the store

 She appeared on the other side of the glass studying me

 looking like a fish eyed cadaver with curlers in her hair

  then she disappeared, power thrown up in the air,

 and I fainted right then and there, that’s all I can remember
