Surprise

Member since 2002 · Posted 22 Sep 2002 · 2 comments

Birds take flight Danger lurking near? Is it me Or something else they fear. Shadows fall Has the darkness come Does something more sinister block out the sun? Leaves crunch An omonous sound Hair stands Someone is around Axe falls Connects with a thud Was it just a tree? Then why all the blood Loved one Stares with vacant eyes Cake lies on the ground Oh what a surprise!

Cake? Is this a joke? I'm baffled
