the abandoned log cabin
at the foot of the mountains
far away from the nearest town ;
the place where over forty years ago
evil came to call ;
” a veritable charnel house ” ,
trumpeted newspapers at the time ;
they found crimson shaded footprints
leading off into the woods ,
the bodies got buried discreetly ,
the axes and various other tools were destroyed
fingerprints got wiped ,
no further enquiries ensued ;
the police inspector and aldermen of the town ,
cowered in a cold sweat
every night in their beds
as they listened to
the screaming …
love it!!! Quite a thriller write!!! It kept me in suspense…
Whoa! Quite a write, Louis.
But, please reveal the mystery… What is it all about….
Its wonderfully narrated. The flow is excellent & it takes you there.
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful poem.
