Tiny Household Tyrant
Power from the small
A low roar fills the land,
Followed by the drifting of sand.
Footsteps resound with bold purpose,
No quieter than a chatty porpoise.
Soon he comes into the room,
Scanning with eyes that say sudden doom.
Slowly walking over he gives me that look,
Which feels like being caught by a hook.
He then roars right into my face,
So high pitched it has no base.
Quickly he turns and beckons to follow,
Oh how I wish he'd just let me wallow.
We then arrive at the purpose of his summons,
And boy was it worse than rotten persimmons.
It was a snake of the most vile in variety,
His litter box was full; oh the anxiety.
Let this be known to all you who have one,
listen for the snacks for the sooner you'll be done.

Just Sixty Seconds
Oliver sat at a cold, grey steel-covered table. He knew he was next. The longer he sat here, the more confident he knew he wouldn’t make it. His hands were tied to the chair he was sitting on, pushed up against the steel table. A small camera in the corner of the ceiling with a tiny red flashing light was the only thing he was focused on. He felt sick to the stomach. He knew he didn’t have long.
