A cemetery so shy
the dead and gone pass it by.
The graves hide in shame
from its silly name.
No mausoleums to grace it,
or fine tombstones to enhance it.
Please stay away from here.
The dead don’t want you near.
SHY CEMETERY

WALK ALONE
I walk alone at night
when the moon is full height.
The sky black as tar,
but I won’t walk far.
I search for the shadow
on a road so narrow.
I want to see who he’s become;
The Dead leader, the evil one.

THE EVIL STAIRCASE
No one answers our knock.
The front door drifts open.
I step into the dark hallway.
My friends close behind.
A dark staircase looms above us.
Gargoyles stand guard along its banisters.
Lights flicker from the right hallway.
A cold draft hits our left shoulders.
What should we do?
Read The Dead Game to find out.

HELL HOUNDS
Hell hounds are loose.
They guard the door.
No one may enter.
We may not enter,
but the priest has his spell book.
Let the games begin.

FALLING
The staircase gives way.
Linda slides into its grasp.
A tunnel envelopes her.
Hands reach out for her.
Her cries fill the dark void.
“Will I reach the bottom?
Is there even a bottom?”
Her jumbled thoughts swirl around.
She hears a voice yell out,
“Stop!”
The tunnel dissolves.
The stairs return.
Todd waits on the top step.
Linda runs down the staircase
And makes it to the front door.
But the door knob won’t budge.
“Open!”
The door opens
At Todd’s command.
The house pushes Linda
and her friends out the door.
It slams shut behind them.
Afraid to face a new and more powerful Todd,
Linda scrambles to her feet
and races away from End House.
THE DEAD GAME
HELP
FALLING
I climb down from a great height
As I fight with all my might.
The creatures swipe hard at me
As I climb down to the sea.
I must escape this dark place
As demons fly in my face.
They fly through the sky
And hit me from up high.
Who are these demons from hell?
Their features I cannot tell.
I fall to the rocks below.
“Help” is all I can bellow.
THE DEAD GAME
IT’S ALIVE
Sascha Schneider (German, 1870–1927), Eichenwald auf Ruegen (Oak Forest on Ruegen Island), 1925
The forest grows dark.
It has come alive.
Wooden arms reach for me.
Roots uncurl from the ground.
Trees shake and dance
to the moans of the wind.
Dark shadows follow me.
Moonlight teases me.
I’m trapped in hell,
where the sun doesn’t shine.
THE DEAD GAME
TO A TOWN NEAR YOU

Ocean and Beach Posts
Paradise waits for us.
A perfect oasis.
Waves cascade onto the beach.
Guests lounge around
the hotel’s swimming pool.
Quaint stores dot Main Street.
Life is beautiful.
Until night comes.
Waves hit the shore
with their increasing fury.
The sun bows out.
The moon takes its place.
The night brings The Dead walking
into a town near you.

THE WINDOW

The house at the edge of town,
Covered by vines and leaves.
Eyes peek out at the sun.
The door stands open.
We walk in.
“Hello, does anyone live here?
Oh, I didn’t see the two of you.”
A man and a woman stare at us.
“Welcome to our house.
Would you like to see the upstairs?”
The woman asks with a smile.
Shana nods eagerly.
I follow them upstairs.
Children’s bedrooms sit empty,
Perfect shrines with dolls and toys.
“Would you like to see the attic?”
The woman turns to us.
I shake my head.
Shana nods.
An empty room faces us.
The rocking chair begins to rock.
Back and forth.
The man’s dark eyes find us.
“We watch End House from here.
We are The Watchers.”
The rocking chair faces the window.
End House looms in the distance.
Who is rocking the chair?
A vampire Watcher?
Squeak, Squeak, Squeak.
It rocks back and forth.
THE DEAD GAME
AN OASIS

An oasis where dreams come true,
Palm trees wave in the warm breezes.
Birds sing a happy tune of their own
Until the night exhales its cold breath.
Torrents of wind fly across the sand,
Covering all footsteps of the night before.
Dark shadows leave behind no evidence,
And tourists remain innocent no more.
