The Stalker Version 2

the scene is set, the banqueting hall is not looking so shoddy plenty of wild flowers to hide the smell of unwashed bodies the ladies in their finery drink gin with gusto ......they presume the fancy looking men will drink whatever they can consume then the trumpets sounded, heralding that food was being brought in ..... in silver dishes knaves in all their glory carried platters of meat, chicken, fishes. this was snatched by the revellers, who rammed into their mouths great chunks of meat. around the table on the floor were bones by the score which the eaters had thrown at their feet dogs waited, salivating, to pounce on the floor suddenly another fanfare sounded ....another platter was carried In this one was covered with a domed lid, what was so intriguing within? with aplomb the lord made a speech with a drunken slur was ranting on about stalkers, how unpleasant they were with artistic flair he removed the lid all went quiet ....even the dog's slunk away and hid sitting on a bed of cabbage was a severed head this Stalker will stalk no more he said penned 23/08/2016
