I’ve heard about The Dead.
They fill my heart with dread.
It’s time to hide from death.
No time to take a breath.
My body shivers with fear.
Take me away from here.
PREY FOR THE DEAD
Death has reached our shore.
More playtime in store.
A vacation this will not be,
But a horror for you and me.
♦THE DEAD GAME♦
by Susanne Leist
A town of sea breezes,
long evening walks,
and colorful sunsets.
A quaint Florida town
with parties on the beach,
friendly townspeople,
and THE DEAD.
No town is perfect.

Take my hand.
I will lead you
to the other side.
They wait beneath the earth.
A town with fake skies and ocean.
Come with me.
I will lead the way.
Click your shoes
There’s no place like home.
You tell me there’s nothing to fear
since The Dead will soon be here.
Waves cascade to the shore.
I don’t believe The Dead’s lore.
Nothing can ruin this paradise.
Yet, cold fear runs through me like ice.
Now, the winds quicken their speed.
But I still refuse to heed.
I give a last glance at the trees,
and they are falling to their knees.
