Hot Date In a Graveyard
She thought it was romantic to have a first date on Halloween that fall.
He knew it was anything but. By accepting she had sealed her fate.
The cemetery! How charming she thought, not understanding at all.
The night watchers were tired of watching him with another date.
This one is going to live, the ghosts said to the ghouls, we will see to it.
Like the others, petite and blonde, an innocence to her baby blues.
When he brought her to the grave he had dug, they peered into the pit.
This clearly excited the murderous him, nothing she would choose.
Night watchers hit him soundly on the head with a machete and axe.
They did not hear her screaming or notice her face contort and twitch.
They knew the other bodies might now be discovered and other facts.
When cadaver dogs came to the pit and they discover the other six.
