100 words of creepiness

Oct 07, 2020 06:11

Here's a little poem for the season called "First Sin." Original work; please respect.

"Stage four cancer," said the man.
"Inoperable." He held her hand
and said again, "I'm sorry, ma'am.
Death is now an issue."

She'd done her best to shed a tear
but none came forth. Instead the fear
she'd held so long turned to a leer,
hidden behind a tissue.

Followed by her stern-faced mate,
she'd travelled back to home to sate
a terrible hunger that wouldn't wait.
Afterward a grave to dig.

"You've a wicked soul," her mate did chide.
"So you've said a million times,"
she replied. "My first sin is tonight."
And she dined upon long pig.

drabbles, spooky, original
