they are legend
the little girl was scared
at first
but now she was terrified
and about to have
a panic attack
He kept her tight
in his arms and covered her
ears and
told her to calm down
and that everything will
be all right
It was 02:24 AM and the
knocks in
the door and all around
the walls and windows
still carried on
And there were howls
coming from
outside and
curses and a constant sound
of nails scratching
on wood
“Daddy, I’m scared! I’m…”
“I know, dear, I know. But
you have to
calm down. Remember to focus
on your breathing like I told you.
Deep, deep breaths, okay? Deep. In
and out. I promise you,
tomorrow everything’s gonna
be fine. I swear.”
“Is it zombies?” asked the
little girl.
“No, dear. It’s something else.”
“What’s it called?”
“An ex-girlfriend, dear.”
