Knife and Cord

Knife and cord


Slowing climbing the dark and creaking stairs
I feel my heart exploding in my chest
My breathing labored, saying silent prayers
Hoping it’s a dream, not unwanted guests


I stand absolutely frozen in place
Afraid to exhale and my breathing heard
the perpetrators standing face to face
On the floor a glistening knife and cord

This reads

Like a home
Invasion

Suspense palpable...frighteningly so. You grabbed the suspense and squeezed from the opening line.

I really like this kind of writing; you take something out of a day or night, and bring it to life for others to visit, thats cool..thats my fav little stuff out of the day or a situation.
