WRITING OBSTACLE
Submitted by j.byrd
Write a horror story in the style of a Dr. Seuss book.
Who’s This If Not A Ricket?
The ground is full of snow
So much so
You’d never see the ricket crawl slow
On its way to eat you starting from below
Rickets you can’t see
If you were to be eaten by one maybe
Once they swallow you whole
They’ll hide as you as the body they’ve stole
While they can have your form
They can never take your being
Your personality
What you dislike
Who you love
So if one day when your friend is a bit odd
Their countenance flawed
Unusual from instances before
Test them with something they’d die for
Like their favorite sweater
Say you’ll take it cause of the chilly weather
The friend will nod as if the thing is insignificant
Unknowing it failed the test
Now you have to put them to permanent rest
NOTE: Dr. Seuss is too unique. Idk if this passes the test.
