Red Coat in a Haunted House

She walked silently

Wolf at her side.

Neither spoke

But both listened.

Wild wolves came close

To the pathway

They walked.

Wolf jumped from the path

To chase them

With his fangs and wrath.

 

Then came returning

A wild Wolf

Strange and dark

And evil in his heart.

She ran

Her red coat snagging

On everything and anything.

 

The door is closed

Locked from the inside.

Help! she cries

As more wolves descend.

The door opens

Just in time

She is safe

 

Or so she thought.
