What a Shame

We go through life never paying attention to details; what a shame.
We never look around corners or behind mirrors; what a shame.
Unaware that there are others out there; what a shame.
We are nothing but prey to them; what a shame.
Joseph never believed in the paranormal; what a shame.
He only saw what he believed he saw; what a shame.
Only scoffed at horror movies and scary stories; what a shame.
He walked through his life looking only forward; what a shame.
Didn't bother looking behind him; what a shame.
The pain in the back of his head surprised him; what a shame.
He turned around as the claws dug in; what a shame.
Even with blood clouding his vision he looked for his assailant;
what a shame.
And on the ground, his shadow showed a wide grin...
"What a shame."
