Attic

   If ever you find yourself crawling through your attic at night



   and



   you find a doll in a box








   there's nothing to be scared about even if it blinks




   when it's not supposed to



   and the attic door slams behind you




 


   And even if you feel a tug at your sleeve




   Relax





  It's your imagination



  playing tricks with you because the alternative isn't worth thinking about

  and

  screaming never works
