Stranger Things

You know Stranger Things

where thy introduced Veckna

and he starts taking people?

That gave voice to lost words

And before I knew it

I felt seen

yet nobody was watching.

I wept in my silence

My heart light and heavy

all at once.

The story went on

to show what it's like

in my mind,

Living in my thoughts,

my fears

My depression.

The thoughts, the fear consumes me,

The stories made up in my mind,

Makes up my story.

As it engulfs in darkness

I've become Veckna's victim.

He feeds on me and my soul

And plants the seed of death

And then I hear it.

I hear it, in the distance

At first it's faint,

The sound of the clock

Tick, tock, tick, tock

It echoes inside as if

Living in a cylinder.

Faint as in a distance

Yet closer with every ring

The sound surrounds me

swallows me whole

Tick, tock, tick, tock

The wind under my feet

Pushes me over

As I inch closer to the edge

The darkness beneath

Get bigger and bigger.

Tick, tock, tick, tock

The bullet loads in

Tick, tock, tick, tock

1 inch closer to the cliff

My toes hang over the edge

and I feel the ground disappearing

I gasp as I am frozen

Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock,

Safety off, I cock back

Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock

TICK, TOCK, TICK, TOCK

GONG.

Clock strikes at the same time

The smoke comes out of the barrel's mouth.

The only trace of what was

GONG, GONG

The ground gives beneath

And the darkness takes me whole.

GONG, GONG Leaving only the echoes of the clock

Continuing the cycle

To claim it's next victim.
