I dedicate this one to PersonDude, whose short story inspired me to write again. This is a poem like story I wrote in one sitting. I would really appreciate comments, more than you know. If you have any thoughts after reading this piece of mine, please leave them for me to read. Well, here it is.
THE WAREHOUSE DEMON
I had heard the tale two times before
yet I didn't believe it, to them "say no more."
but how foolish had I Been to dump it away
yet I found him; soon to be everyone's dismay
The warehouse in question was in my view
the crooked trees and the fence rusted too
so I peeked inside for an honest glance
his red eyes met mine in a modest stance
his skin was pale, his flesh not there
"no need for you to have such a scare"
he spoke those words in a sharp tone
It was a heartless tone that chilled me to the bone
I wanted to walk away but he read my mind
"why don't we bring him to you?" he seemed so kind
he brought my uncle to me in an instant
i tried to hug him, of this I was insistant
he pulled away, to which he said
"contact be damned" and cracked is head
"Can I please come with you?" I cried
"don't be weak" he spat then sighed
"How long will you stay before you go?"
"I must go back with someone new, so-"
He vanished to return to the grave
"return home!" the demon energetically waved
and So I went back to my pad
my uncle already returned, I was sad
I wanted to speak with him longer
my feelings weren't curbed; they were stronger
and so I went back the next night
the demon peered at me and caused more fright
"because of what you ask, I must take what's mine"
he snapped his fingers, and my father was no longer fine
he snapped his fingers again, "why? I shouted
"for today's' services!" he nearly pouted
I sighed but nodded anyway
and so my uncle appeared; I hoped to stay
he spoke again, such a feverish grin
"why has thou summoned me again?"
"I want to speak with thee, for I loved you"
"bother me not again!" and he staged a coup
"come back to me my friend!"
"no more, not again"
he kicked me out and back to home I went
lots of time thinking, that I spent
just to come back the next night
and the one after that was in my sight
and this I did, that I swear
one by one, I gave them all dispair
all my family, all my friends
one by one by him they met their ends
just so I could speak with him
my uncle, who was no longer truly him
the last time I was there, as I write I cannot bear
cause I had not a soul left for whom I cared
so my uncle and the demon both grinned
then they grabbed me and to hell, me did they send.
