Ransom Note

Just random silliness.

 

 

As she walked along

    Cheerfully, freely, the

         Wind blowing her hair

              Into tangled knots and

                    Causing them to block

                          Her vision. The light

                     Faded slowly, and she

                   Noticed something

                     Floating across the

                             Road that did not

                                   Belong in the mess

  Of scattered leaves,

                                               Fallen from their

  Arborous sanctuary.

                                   It was a note – slightly

                             Yellowed and crumbled

                       Up – and it glided to her

                Along the current. She

         Bent down to catch it

       With her finger cages

           And opened it,

                Caressing the folds in

                               Her hands, her

                                  Curiosity spilling over.

  It was difficult to read –

            Written in light pencil

                That was hard to

                 Decipher in the dim

          Daylight – but she tilted

      It and then froze, for

                                 That was what it told her

                               To do: “Freeze. If you

                           Move, I will kill him.

                      Instead, stand still, drop

                         This note, and place

                Your hand over your eyes.

                 I will come behind you.

                 Do not move, for I am

                      Armed and will shoot.”

                          So she lifted her

                            Arm to cover her eyes

                         And waited and waited

                   And waited, but no one

              Ever came for her,

          And so she was left

In the road forevermore.

Wow. I for some reason really like this one. Usually story poems aren't my thing, but this was honestly very inventive. Very good.

Stephen King should make it into a book, >.
