THE DEAD GAME HAS BEGUN

takingoffmyhood: stairs

 

I slip on the steps

and catch hold of the rickety banister.

A single light bulb swings on its chain,

revealing a dark basement ahead.

The door slams shut behind us.

I run to it.

It’s locked.

We move as one.

The floor fills with water.

I’m submerged to my knees.

The walls rattle.

Cages descend on ropes.

As they sway near us,

sharp stakes extend

from the bottom edges.

Circular saws follow them,

swirling between the empty cages.

THE DEAD GAME has begun.

FACE THE FIRE

 

Round and round we must go.
Our fantasies take us higher.
Will we meet friend or foe?
Take the ride and face the fire.

DEADLY INVITATION

thecastleofotranto:

Costume designed by Eiko Ishioka (1938~2012)

Come to me, my pretty.
I’m waiting with open arms.
Grab hold of my gown.
I will take you on an adventure.
The bats will be your guide.
Don’t worry.
No one will harm you.
Unless I say so.
Would you follow her?
What else comes to mind
when you see such a gown?

A WINDOW

 

 

A window to the world.

A window to beauty.

Snow-capped mountains.

Swan-filled lakes.

The pounding waves of the ocean.

Fields of flowers.

Adventure.

Romance.

Mystery.

Open your mind

to the possibilities.

Wake your senses.

Can you feel the sea breeze?

Can you smell the flowers?

Can you hear the seagulls’ cries?

Can you taste the salty air?

I can.

FOOTSTEPS IN THE SNOW

 

The brisk nip in the air,

as we trudge in the snow.

We feel an icy wind on our faces

as it pummels our bodies.

Someone else has done it.

We follow the footsteps,

a frozen trail in the snow.

WILL CURIOSITY BE THE DEATH OF YOU?

 

The door.

The fear of not knowing.

The fear of knowing.

What to do?

Open the door and step inside.

You might be happy.

Or you might be dead.

You’ll never know until you open the door.
