Bedtime Stories by Misa Akane
Read Time:1 Minute, 41 Second
Murmur, click, murmur
Footsteps, padlock
Now, says the doctor, his white coat never cleaner
We’ve lost a patient, have you seen her?
Tied her up and hour ago
With three guards or so
He continues, she’s rather odd, you know
Small and frail, a shy young doe
Yet, they brought her in in chains, branded her a killer
Sharp as a blade, a real little thriller
It’s strange in my hospital to find one so abnormal
There’s trial date on sunday, everyone’s in formal
Yet we just don’t know where the main event is
Scuffle, shout, mumble
Scream, splatter
The ladies at market gather round and talk about it
A young girl, no, a killer, escaped, no time to acquit
Poisoned one, beat another, slashed one up after dinner
She’s a pretty little girl with the cold heart of a sinner
The young men at the pub laugh and joke very crudely
And they grin and down their drink while they’re thinking lewdly
The governor throw a panic, and shuts down all the travel
While the judge finds his jury and the courthouse finds his gavel
The town is eagerly preparing for a girl who’s now gone missing
With all the press, there’s no dismissing
That she’ll never be set free
Shudder, crash, footsteps
Ring, ring,
In the church, there’s a telephone that’s been ringing all that day
Where the nuns and priesthood take their time out to pray
But today there’s no praying, no worship and no life
All the praying in the world couldn’t save them from a knife
And at the school there’s alarm bells, and rumours of a child
Shooting all the students, the blood makes her beguiled
When police track her down, there’s no drawn out fight
Just a gunshot to her head brings an end to the fright
Blaring sirens trying to save a hundred lives
It would be a miracle if anyone survives
Just proof that the living are all made to die
Crash, shudder, scream
Choking, silence
Tumblr article…
I saw a writer writing about this on Tumblr and it referenced…
Wow. Nice.
Don’t think I’ll be able to sleep tonight. I scare easy.
Hehe, sleep tight…
“just proof that the living are all made to die.” Great stuff here Misa. I love it.
Thank you, that sentence was actually different, I only changed it to that a few moments before I submitted it.
