It was quiet that night,
But different, not the same...

As he packs up to ship out,
Hoping to make it home, to see his brother go to...

Do you hear it now?
The silence of the stage when the actor doesn't...

They hear me, speak to me,
Scratching, slithering, crawling...

So happy was he,
In the saddest of sights one could ever see...

Sedation sets in,
As I go under again...

*this is not a poem, this is a short story. This...

He once was a hero but they don't love him no...

Black bag, painted skin,
No stains on the carper, to the freezer then...
