WRITING OBSTACLE
Submitted by j.byrd
Write a horror story in the style of a Dr. Seuss book.
Appear
Bloody trails,
Haunting wails,
Frenzied tales—
This is story long forgotten.
Betsy Fall,
A mighty girl, standing tall,
Receives an unexpected call
From a man named Paul.
“Hello Betsy, its been awhile.
Come outside, let’s walk a mile.
I miss your perky smile!”
Paul was one to beguile.
Betsy, curious and bored,
Walked out the door toward
A man, whose blue shirt couldn’t be ignored.
A trembling fear was strung like a chord.
Never talk to strangers,
Betsy should’ve knew the dangers.
Poor Betsy disappeared
While Paul only continued to appear appear appear.
