I was with great-gramma. <br />We weren’t walking fast at all, <br />so something scary found us <br />when we shuffled down the hall. <br /> <br />Every time she took a step, <br />I heard a spooky sound. <br />When we stopped I couldn’t hear it. <br />It was quiet all around. <br /> <br />I looked to our left, <br />and then I looked to our right, <br />but we were all alone, <br />not a monster was in sight. <br /> <br />Maybe it was gone now <br />so I guess it’s safe to go. <br />(I wish she would go faster <br />Great-gramma walks SO slow!) <br /> <br />I told great-gramma we should run <br />‘cause the monster could come back. <br />Great-gramma said that she’s too old <br />and running hurts her back. <br /> <br />So we started walking slow again. <br />Sure enough, the sounds were back! <br />With every step great-gramma took <br />I could hear the thing attack! <br /> <br />And then I started giggling … <br />Hey, I know what’s chasing us! <br />Great-gramma don’t walk faster <br />It’s barking spiders with hiccups!<br /><br />C.J.
