yesterday at 1400 hours December the fourth

Multi-coloured in rainbow array
Mutating flares of crimson reds
One portent Wednesday.

Overhead the predator drone motionless
Metallic silver it's planed wings
and tip pointed nose

Assaulted Peanuts

They rode across the Western Hills,
For the land of Middle Eyed Bong,
To raid the Salted Peanut Trees,
Of King Pod and his merry throng.

Fear grabs hold of me
Keeping me grounded in place
Like an anchor to a ship
As its dark claws take hold
Clutched tightly around my neck.

My breathing shortening with each breath
Fear begins to squeeze the life out of...

At Castle Frankenstein;
With lots of food and spirit,
The fun kicked off at nine!

A place full of darkness and ear piercing screams.

Screams so terrifying you won’t want to hear them anymore.
