What Happens Next?

I stood there looking,
wondering what next.
I could hear the whispers,
the small sounds behind me.
The breeze slightly chilling,
the dark a bit oppressive.
I ran through scenarios
of what it could be.
Many things could make that noise.
Many shadows could make those shapes.
I stood there wondering,
what would happen next.
The hairs were straight up on my neck.
Something touched my shoulder.
I knew what would happen next.
