A Place To Die
William Michael Reid
On the hill stands the humble little house
Inside full of humble little plants
Perfectly potted pots of peonies
Sit still silently on solemn sills
They watch over the humble gardens
Viscous vines of rose
Hiding hermits amidst the grove
Sit in silence as they decompose
What a solemn place to die
A Forest full of friendly flowers
Waterfalls winding rocks in willing willows
Peaceful singing plotting petals
Humming hiding hithering hills
Blood stained burning builders
Red drops in bubbling waters
What a beautiful place to die
Crying trying finding biding
This place will always end up dying
Bodies always end up piling
Whispers carry rules unspoken
"Don’t check the basement."
"It’s far too dark."
And "Everyone has their part."
What a menacing place to die

CHAPTER 15 I pulled up in front of Sandy’s a little early, so I texted Becca again and left a message for Sharon, hoping she had a good day and I’d see her tomorrow. Two cars pulled into Sandy’s driveway. I don’t know why I was surprised to see another man with her. We’d been apart for two years and I certainly didn’t waste any time getting back on the horse.
