Writings

Just My Luck

Unlucky lucky

Charms and numbers

To luck the key

Is unlucky thunder


But my luck goes just like that

I’m a superstitious maniac

Luck is something I really lack

So I got every charm in my lucky sack


I broke a mirror,stared at it

Sat on a bench that said “don’t sit”

I was puzzled then I realised

That it was a wet paint sign


Breakfast at last what could go wrong

Spilled the salt,knocked ...

Nix My Black Cat

They say black cats are bad luck

If they cross your path


I don’t believe that

I met my baby 4 years ago


She was my everything

I was so lucky


She guided me through those years

Until her time was up


Blacks cats aren’t bad luck

There a gift god gave and we took for granted


Bye my baby...

Grew balls and decided to cuss me one day.

But little did poor little Miss Crawford know,

Salem was there to witness the show.


A screech of terror came from her house later...

Step On A Crack

We walked three blocks to school and back

And skipped around the sidewalk cracks

The older children knew this hack

And taught us so matter-of-fact

If you happen to step on a crack

You’ll surely break your mother’s back


And so I tread with careful feet

One two three-stop, and then repeat

Precarious on every street

My mother’s life in every beat

Made sure my brother did repeat

The every movement o...

Population

The population is 109. Nobody knows when it'll go down or who the next victim will be. Your fate has been decided for you and you can only sit in fear, praying to live one more day.


I can’t say when this started, who's controlling it, or just why it’s happening. All I know is that your name determines the way you'll die – and you do your best to avoid it.


My name is Petir, meaning, “Thunder an...

The Boy With The Skull Face

 his face is a skull.


Yes, an actual skull, not a painted skull or a costume ...

The Black Cat And The Demons Ashes

Sebastian has always been odd. From the day his mother attempted to exorcize him in his uncles basement, he has been fascinated in what can’t be seen. And curiosity got the best of him. But in this case curiosity got the cat killed, and no satisfaction could bring it back.

The floors stained with blood, the smell of the rotting cat on his floor drenching the ...

Stepped on a Crack

On Friday the 13th of all days, she found herself in many ways disoriented and afraid. She did everything she could to avoid the sinister power, she avoided cracks and waking underneath ladders, but all went to heck when the devil’s number came into view and everything thus forth was thrown quite askew.


A rabbit foot around her neck or a lucky four-leaf clover could not counterbalance the bad luc...

Ladders

The black cat walked under the ladder!

Fuck!

Fuck what?

We’re dead!

Who’s we?

Us.

No.

Then who if not us.

You - only.

Why?

It is not my meaning be.

Confused.

What is true to you is not mine to carry.

Ok....
