Twisted Plots
She found a hero in the book's shadowy schemes,
The detective who could enter the realm of dreams
She turned the pages of her imagination
As the book's surreal plot unfolded
It was in this dreamlike dimension
The fiend would be found,
In slumber his dreams would give him away
And her hero would be crowned
Then the plot took another twist
And her conclusions became hazy
She realized her assumptions were unreal
The lines became blurred in this imaginary zone
She finally reached the last chapter
in this twisted ethereal tale,
She stared at the book in a trancelike state;
Her hero was the villain she had come to hate!
