Chanter
It was a normal day. I walked to Jay's house across the street and rang the doorbell.
The red door opened at once,
"Hey, Mike!" Jay said.
"Yo! Canni' come in?"
"Sure man!"
I walked into the living room, where the news was on, saying that 15 people had drowned in a sea.
...
"Whazzup?" Jay asked as he switched a dirty kettle on,
"Nothing. Just been eatin', sleepin'"
Jay snorted, "Lazy,"
I smirked.
"Anyway, I gotta leave," I said.
"'K, bye Mike,"
"Bye!"
...
I left the door and walked back along the street, got into my car and started driving to my girlfriend's apartment.
While I pulled up in the carpark, something in the mirror caught my eye,
"Wake up,
Lazy bones,
You don't want to sleep today...
Wake up,
Blood and brains,
You will die tomorrow in vain."
...
The boy chanting this nursery rhyme had messy, blonde hair and a blood-filled mouth. I was freaked and drove back to Jay's house.
...
"What now?" Jay moaned,
"Don't talk,
Tell-tale,
You want to be alone...
The voice chanted behind me, I didn't dare turn around.
"Come with me!" I yelled to Jay as I dragged him to my vehicle,
...
"Hey-ey what is it?" Jay stumbled,
"COME WITH ME!"
...
I got into the vehicle, him in the passenger seat, and drove.
I looked in my mirror, and saw that blood-filled mouthed boy in the middle of the street road,
"Why drive?
Coward,
You want to stay with me.
Why would you go?
Why would you?
Why would you even leave?"
We reached the desert, where cacti were patrolling the tar road. I still drove until I found an abandoned wooden town.
...
"We'll stop here," I said,
"MIKE! TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON!" Jay commanded,
"You heard him! Outside!" I yelled,
"What the - What the hell?" He groaned.
...
The town looked from cowboy times, the signs saying Bank, Shop, Shop were ripped,
We camped in an old house for the night, the beds were hard and things. One painting was on the wall of a man killing another man, and eating him.
And that's, in the middle of the night, I heard a faint voice which seemed to come outside the door...
"Why did you not,
Want to come with me?
To your personal desire,
I could lead,
You to deed,
And you will thank me sire,"
The door chackled and then burst down, Jay grunted in his sleep.
Nobody was at the door, and then I stared at the foot of my bed.
"Come with me,
You want to see,
The dream you have longed to meet,
Why run?
It won't be fun,
But now you want to see the sun!"
I was somehow forced to stand up out of bed, I walked to the boy, he dragged me out of the house and back in my car.
He locked the door and put his face on the window,
"Go to sleep,
My new sheep,
Have your little neep,
Don't wake up,
Let blood fill my cup,
And a brain be on my plate,"
Killing pain instantly smashed into my body, I rolled over in the car,
"AHH!" I screamed, it felt like my head was ripping, I felt it, it was!
Then I died...
"Thank you,"
The boy then turned around, and walked along the road back to the city...
...
Who knows where he might be headed now?
Maybe you???
"Let me find,
A victim to die,
At the dead of nigh,
I'll always get,
You in the end,
Reader"
