The Killing
By: Sam Tollett
Along a narrow road that winds through the tethered forest lies a land
A land that's full of fright
No people go nor people say
This town was once a vacation site
It is said that people might return one day
But for now, no people go because of the dangers that lay
In this land all tucked away lives a ferocious monster
No one alive can say what it is because the people who did ran away when they heard its roar
No one has had the courage to face the beast just yet
Alast a courageous soul they say has came up from the graveyards depths
He says he'll go and kill the beast that haunts the village all day and night
And on he went through the winding road he hiked
Until he came about the town and wandered in to hear the loud roar of the wild beast
He shouted “ Come you beast and fight me unless you are too scared.”
And out it stomped a house cat
While this is a surprise he said then went to pick it up
As he touched it a tyrannosaur came and gobbled him up
The village waited day and day until his head came flying back
The village went in panic for the brave soul had gotten killed by the horrid beast
Who left us his head in message
We now know the land along the winding road through the tethered forest
Will no longer be a vacation site
