Coming This Fall to Your Neighborhood Mall
Poetry By: Bazal Morani
Time for Halloween to mark the beginning of Fall
Everyone in costumes trick-o-treating at the mall
It’s been a while since this mall has seen a crowd
It hasn’t exactly made this neighborhood proud
Last year a mass murder took place
As a serial killer covered his face
A strange occurrence that no one could explain
He came into town looking calm and rather plain
Then he entered the mall and went for the toy store
He stole all the dolls—seemed like hundreds or more
With his blue eyes glowing with rage he shot down all the shoppers
Then he took the time to sit each one up and make them look proper
Went around with an axe chopping off hands and legs
Then leaving them with a doll with the same missing limbs as they beg
But as each took a last breath and started to die
He would pull out his camera to take their pictures as they cried
This was the first day of the reopening of the place
Rather strange really as every corner you turn you can see his face
The laughter and joy filled the air around
Spiders and cobwebs covered both ceiling and ground
As children laughed and played and the adults all talked
There was not a sign of fear or terror no matter how far you walked
But then the lights suddenly shut and you could hear a screeching scream
People pinching themselves swearing it’s just a dream
Run to the nearest doors but they all seem to have locked
All the windows and garages all seem to be blocked
Then all of a sudden an eerie echo of giggles and laughter
All through the halls getting louder and faster
Shelves start to shake all through the stores
As dolls and toys come crashing to the floor
They all start standing on their own, eyes glowing red
They run towards the baffled crowds biting off heads
As the blood starts to seep through the walls
You can hear the echoes and cries as people start to fall
As limbs go flying and eyes start to roll
Was this the serial killer’s goal?
The cops all wait outside waiting to close the mall
Now they will have to wait to open it until next fall
