Don’t Be Scared – by Charles Macias



But I AM scared.

I am fitfully frightened.

Tis the season for being skittish!!!

Oh no, goblins, ghosts and ghoulies!!!!!

I am having bad dreams every night!!!!

I don't like the dark! I don't like spiders!

DON'T quote Edgar Allan Poe!

Scary masks get me almost puking.

The world is aflame.

The zombies are out and they're NOT doing the Monster Mash.

Ooogum boogum baby.

Was that a black cat?!!!!!!

Why are there bumps in the night?!!!!

Kolchak! Kolchak!

Scooby Dooby Doo - where are you?!

I hate shadows.

Oh no, not another scream!!!!!!!

Puh-leeeez, just leave me alone!!!!!!!!!!

Every utterance is sheer TORTURE!!!!!!!!!!
