Story[edit]

Women get hungry too, in Ultimare
A nightmare occurs at night
in your dreams, but in an
ultimare reality is as strange
as it seems.
The clock struck twelve,
And all was quiet.
The moon was full.
Twas monsters'night.
Vision of a ghoul
Came into sight.
I lay there soul
Filled with fright.
Closer closer crept it then,
Closer to the bed I lay in
Crept what surely was a goblin.
Holding an impulsive scream,
Hoping that this figure groping
Was confined within a dream,
Was not that which it did seem,
I lay there without a scream.
The creaking ofthe wooden floor,
Creaking louder even more,
Filled my soul with awe & gore.
Nearer nearer did it creep,
Likely thinking I asleep,
Innocently counting sheep.
Now it was beside my bed.
Undersheet I kept my head,
Entire body filled with dread.
Soon I feared I would be dead.
Its lips touched my cheek,
Under sheet I kept my head.
"Ghoul or ghost,
Whichever are ye,"
Screamed I to it to spare me.
Answering not my frantic plea,
It stood its place silently.
Now I flung aside the sheet,
And letting out
A piercing shreak:
Withholding fear
With all my might,
Stumbling forward,
Madly fumbling,
I found the switch,
Turned on the light.
Looking there
Where monster stood,
Mother's face came into sight.
