The Game of Fear.
Under the ladder to the attic, the drops get loud
And shift sounds, to an echoey pitch : drowned-
By frightening squeals, and sounds of a struggle-
That sound, somewhat, bound and muffled.
I entered the attic, stumbling - the ground is rubble
& as I look around, I see I’m bound for trouble.
The thick dust in the air makes me gasp & heave
I scan the room to no avail - so I light a match to see.
The floor is covered in books on human anatomy.
‘Blaspheme’, I think, when I see a broken cross
I notice my focus loss right before my finger burns
“Damn Match!” Your probably think I’d learn-
But no: I strike another match and keep straight,
But I cant see five feet ahead of me for peat’s sake.
The match burns my finger again and I cant see
“This cant be”, I think as I see four beams of light
& as I get ever closer, someone seems to cry.
The sound is from around the light beams..
I continue to move forward, & hear light screams-
Until I reach the source: A rusted, metal fridge
Chained shut with a new lock on one metal hinge.
Four tiny rust hole are where the light was from
My body’s here frozen as my mind tries to run.
“Someone in here”, I say as I kick the refrigerator
Maybe a girl & god sent me hear to save her?
The squalling gets louder - so does the struggle
Blood drops hit the ground - My luck, too :-/
Damn real estate agent..
..I should have known this deal was trouble
Yeah, this house is worth 200 thow
But for 20 Gs cash, you can have it now
Wouldn’t you be taking a loss though
Not really - Realize that I’ve got doe
I just want to get out of the country soon
But on the top floor: don’t enter that room
That may seem a bit tough
But I’ll have someone in 5 days clean it up
Until then, don’t worry: Just chill
Then we shook.. and it was a deal
Now I’m in front of this big blood leaking ice box
Before I open it, I give it one last light knock
Then, I take a deep breath and kick the tight lock
The fridge opens & my lower legs get covered in red
I expected a damsel, & found my best friend instead
He was tied up & fighting his chains
As I pulled his bloody body out, he spoke in pain:
“They’re coming to kill us! They want us dead!
They said that they wanted both of our heads!
..Man, are you scared?” I replied: Hell Yeah!!!
“Good... cause you’re on Scare Tactics!!!!”
He laughed as lights illuminated the dark attic
Cameramen started to walk in - I just spazzed out
And in a daze, all I remember is that I passed out
Noone here can understand how deep my pain is
So I want them to pay dearly for my mental anguish
I’m suing for 20 million dollars.
