The broom danced around the room br pushed by unseen hands. br I stood there hypnotised, br and then came the crackling laughter br that echoed in my ears br and seem to come from everywhere. br It stopped and a voice shouted br if you know what’s good for you br you’ll get out of here. br The laughter returned closer than before. br My heart thumped loudly br as I groped in the darkness searching for the door br through spider’s webs and endoplasmic goo br I grasped the handle, br opened it and into the night ran. br Promising myself every step of the way br never to go back there again.
