Ominous Questions

Was it fairytale wishes that come in threes, or curses that bring you to your knees? Does that gentle, warm summer breeze blow through bodies that hang from trees? Does it waft the tinkle of a wedding bell or the howling hounds of Hell?

'Ominous' is the understatement of the year, methinks. ~ gw

I made a pact with myself to write what pops into my head without censoring myself. I'm beginning to think that I got the short end of the stick when I made that deal. I wonder if there's a way out of that contract. Maybe, I should have my head examined.

Thanks Panagiota! Yes, my mind sure generates a lot of weird malarky, like a barking three-headed dog - lol. I guess I'll need to buy a lot of dog food to get them to quiet down.
