Never fall asleep with an empty seat facing you. You never know what sits there while you sleep! Write a horror story, flash fiction, a poem, whatever suits your fancy. Let your imagination go wild.

Empty Seat.

Never fall asleep facing an empty seat

You have too many demons that like to watch you sleep

They like the sound of your life, your heart like a drumbeat

Their black eyes watch you relentlessly deep

If you were to ever awaken while they watch

It is doubtful you would ever see the light of day 

Even tonight, there sits a shadow drinking its scotch

Watching you with hollowed eyes, like a predator watches its prey
