Haunting (interlude)

After I had moved into my apartment two weeks

I awoke with hands around my throat

This went on for one week

My radio played when not plugged in

I heard someone run across my attic floor

I saw my tufted rug—my tufted rug appear like someone was walking on it

I had foul odors in the apartment in the wintertime

I awoke one night to a cat meowing and I had no cat, nor did the tenant below me

Knocks came from inside my attic door

One night a bat, or bird, flew against my head

I am not sure which, it happened so fast

I saw chimpanzees appear in my bedroom

I heard my name being called, and when I turned to look, I saw my broth—

So who was really trying to kill me?

Not my friend, but Satan

Why, I didn't know
