A Horror Story

I tried to dabble in the horror genre in high school... this was the only thing I completed. And the ending has had a few different turns but this is the only version I've found in hardcopy.

"A sound of a fearsome sort

is whispering through the trees;

and as I begin to run
the branches rustle in the trees.
Where am I going?
That, I don't know;

but I know something's following me
as I dash through the snow.
I race through the woods
and stumble to the ground.
And then I hear it again,
that fearsome sound.
My heart begins to race,

and I start to slow down.

The stalker is getting closer

as we get farther from town.
I hear them through the trees!
My chilled blood begins to thin.

I sink to my knees

and the world begins to spin.

As the scenery darkens,

and my vision starts to haze;

I see the a distant shadow

and reach the point of a daze.

Why was I running?
From who or from what?

Why am I screaming?
... do I taste blood?"
