She stood in the hallway,

her face partially illuminated.

The other half,

hidden by

a dark mystery.

A sinister smile

played at her mouth

looking carved upon

her twelve-year-old face.

"Come play with me."

Her voice rang,

creepily melodious.

Her eyes cut into me.

I could only stand frozen and nod.

I don't want a repeat of the last time

I told the girl in the shadows

no.
