"Maybe writing a second person, present tense novel about a dead bumble bee slowly rotting in the grill of a VW Rabbit wasn't such a good idea."


Twisted metal,

Shattered glass.

The world you know

Will come to pass.

 

Trouble, trouble in the rubble,

Buildings crashing down,

Mayhem, madness, on the double,

Hint: don’t turn around.

 

We are friendly, we won’t bite,

Come on out and play,

To put this in a whole new light,

This’ll be your final day.

 

Your life is ending,

Your minutes few,

Look around,

Now what to do?

 

Worshipers of Leryn,

Your time draws to a close.

Your landscape is barren,

Submit to your foes.

Featured in one of my short stories. Leryn is one of the goddesses in the mythology of the people in the story.
