I woke up screaming again

Choking on my fog of sweat and fear

Wandering through your house

Lost in my thoughts

Fingers glide over satin plaster

Splintered frame points out my targets

Domino run of choices

Span infinite.

Open the door - Blades and blood.

Open the door - Tie the noose and drop.

Open the door - Chainsaw.

Open the door - Torn limb from limb.

Run away; Paralyzed.

Try to scream; Have no voice.

Futile me; Drown in quicksand.

Impotent; Lack of action.

If you won’t choose

Your choice is made

The center door

Became my main stage

Climb the stairs

Stumble inside

Sink into the fibers…
