Things Only Musician Understand

Part 10: Eliza

I pulled into their driveway

and let Batoo

and Ghost loose

so they would find

anybody

if they were still there

I went to the front door,

and swung it open,

rushing through

with my gun pulled out

and scoping the area.

there was no one there

except for

a blood stain

that was trailing the floor.

I walked over to it,

knelt down,

and ran my hands through it,

to find it fresh

and still warm.

I follow the trail,

with my guard up

and gun drawn.

When I found the source

of the blood

my heart

became stone

and stopped beating in my chest.
