1. Pete's Torment -  The Villanelle Of The Train

Pete couldn't stop thinking about the train

It was just so fancy and matt

But he could never forget the sustain

That morning, Pete was shocked by the disdain

He had to calm himself with a format

Pete couldn't stop thinking about the train

Later, Pete was spooked by a pain

He thought the situation had become rather fat

But he could never forget the sustain

Matt said the train wasn't that arcane

It was time to start thinking about a habitat

Pete couldn't stop thinking about the train

Pete took action as a campaign

The train was like a toxic chat

But he could never forget the sustain

Pete's demise was vain

His mind turned into a bat

Pete couldn't stop thinking about the train

But he could never forget the sustain

 

2. The Strange And Fine Wife

Whose wife is that? I think I know.

Its owner is quite happy, though.

Full of joy like a vivid rainbow,

I watch him laugh. I cry, hello.

He gives his wife a shake,

And she laughs until her belly aches.

The only other sound's the break,

Of distant waves and birds awake.

The wife is strange, fine and deep,

But has promises to keep,

After cake and lots of sleep.

Sweet dreams come cheap.

He rises from his gentle bed,

Thoughts of kittens in his head,

He eats his jam with of bread.

Ready for the day ahead.

 

3. The Calm Stranger At New York

One day at a dress shop,

I met a man selling pies,

For the money, he wanted to swap,

But I wanted some rise.

 

"Got any rise?" asked I.

"For that's how I'll spend my money."

"No rise here!" said the guy.

He seemed to find it quite funny.

 

"We've got some lovely crisps,

I'll give you an excellent price."

"I'd rather have some cusps."

The man blinked rapidly thrice.

 

The man seemed exceptionally furry,

And his manner was strangely amused.

He wasn't what I would call towery,

The great disdain he noticeably oozed.

 

Like others, he thought I was odd,

Some say I'm a bit calm.

He gave me a courteous nod,

As if he thought I, plenty pomme.

 

In search of my goal I departed,

But before the dress shop could I leave,

The man came running full-hearted,

"I can help you, I believe."

 

"Pies, rise, you shall find.

Crisps, cusps, you can get.

You must now open your mind,

And get to New York Market.

 

So to New York Market, I go,

In search of the rise, I craved.

The winds it did eerily blow.

But I felt that the day we could be saved.

 

There were stalls selling rings,

Pies in many shades.

There were even stalls selling water wings

People get scattered from many trades

 

A peculiar lady greeted me,

She seemed to be rather calm

I couldn't help thinking she might be quite shady.

I wondered if she was at all pomme.

 

Before I could open my mouth,

She shouted, "For you, I have some rise!"

I headed towards her, to the south,

Past some crisps and pies.

 

"But how did you know?" I asked,

"Do you want them or not?" she did say.

Silently, the rise she passed.

I have then vanished before I could pay.

 

As I walked away I hard a crackle

Or was it, perhaps, a hushed cackle?

 

4. Zombies - Free verse poem

Morphological mutants, however hard they try,

Will always be typed.

Meiotic, mitochondrial, morphological mutants.

Do morphological mutants make you shiver?

Do they?

How happy are gigantic, moral monsters!

Moral monsters are big. Moral monsters are mammoth,

moral monsters are giant, however.

How happy is the woolly, abstract automaton!

Now hirsute is just the thing,

To get me wondering if the abstract automaton is muddled.

How happy are zany, wheeled walkers!

Do wheeled walkers make you shiver?

Do they?

5. The Friend Gone - Domestic Noir

One morning in a house in Australia, Roy Kowalski opens a gift from his friend, Garth Parker, and Roy knows their lives will never be the same again.

While trying to rebuild his life, Roy witnesses a crime that leads him to question a new relationship.

He becomes obsessed with enigmatic stranger Morwenna Meadows.

What is her connection to Garth, and why has she turned up now?

Roy's behavior becomes increasingly erratic as she struggles to unravel the truth and the significance of a solid teapot, all while battling to cope with drug addiction.

Every day, Roy gets closer to the truth. And the closer he gets, the more sickening it seems.

6. The Curse of the Magic Book - A Horror Story

While investigating the death of a local hairdresser, an intuitive author called Simon Walker uncovers a legend about a supernaturally-cursed, magic book circulating throughout Canada. As soon as anyone reads the book, he or she has exactly three days left to live.

The doomed appear to be ordinary people during the day to day life, but when photographed, they look zombified. A marked person feels like a passionate elephant to touch.

Simon gets hold of the book, refusing to believe the superstition. A collage of images flashed into his mind: a rural rat balancing on a brown hairdresser: a newspaper headline about a catapulting accident: a hooded aardvark ranting about moles and drinking well located in a damp place.

When Simon notices his toenails have elephant-like properties, he realizes that the curse of the magic book is real and calls in his husband, a private detective named Beth Williams, to help.

Beth examines the book and submits herself willingly to the curse.

She finds that the visions Simon had, flashed before her eyes.

Beth found the rural rat balancing on a brown hairdresser particularly bizarre as she joins the queue for a supernatural death.

Simon and Beth pursue a quest to uncover the meaning of the visions, starting with a search for the hooded aardvark.

Will Beth and Simon be able to stop the curse before their time is up?

7. The Tenant of Bond Hall

Clarke Butterscotch is a smart and loving orphan raised by a rude and malicious sister.

Eventually, he gets a job as a teacher for the admirable Lady Bond of Bond Hall.

The unlikely couple rapidly succumbs to a wild passion.

On the day of their wedding, a nun escapes from the attic of Bond Hall and starts a fire. Believing that Lady Bond is dead, Clarke flees from the church and wanders the freezing moors for days until a sweet private detective rescues him.

However, although the fire blinds lady Bond, she still breathes. Without Clarke, she becomes vile and wild. She turns to alcohol for comfort because of the ghost of the nun from the attic haunts her.

Meanwhile, thinking Lady Bond is dead, Clarke accepts a marriage proposal from his savior, the private detective.

However, he believes he can hear Lady Bond calling, "Clarke, where are you? Clarke come home!" and he returns to Bond Hall.

On Clarke's return, he finds Lady Bond drunk and without sight.

As Lady Bond mistakes him for the ghost of the brutal nun, she attacks him with a rifle and kills Clarke Butterscotch.

As her nurse attends to the body, Lady Bond realizes what she has done.

Driven mad with guilt, she hatches a plan to destroy the next generation.

Only, there is no next generation, and she dies of consumption two weeks later.

8. The Ghost

My active ghost, you inspire me to write.

How I hate the way you feed, squeak and hunt,

Invade my mind day and through the night,

Always dreaming about the benchmark punt.

 

Let me compare you to a stark clover?

You are more frightful, rightful, and ideal.

Blue storms whip the twiglets of October,

And autumn time has the potable weil.

 

How do I hate you? Let me count the ways.

I hate your spiteful hands, toe, and ankle.

Thinking of your surreal toe fills my days.

My hate for you is the cunning crankle.

 

Now I must away with an abstract heart,

Remember my big words while we're apart

9.   The Time of The Judges

The world changed in an instant when the rich decided to take over the North and South American continents.

They transported the poor to the European, Oriental, and African side of the world.

The poor had to show the rich what they were capable of doing.

Everyone worked together to do what they needed to make their new home become a thriving metropolis.

But to keep up with the changes in the new worlds, a new type of relief from the common forms of crime began to take hold.

And unfortunately for the Dark Side of Earth, crime rates began to soar.

The Dark Side of the Earth needed better ways to enforced the law.

Because there were so many more people to protect or capture, the Commonwealth decided it was time for police to act as Judges because of the growing prison population.

There would be two types of Judges.

Premiere Judge and Judge.

And there are differences.

A Premiere Judge can enforce more of the rules that the Citizens abide by and can execute people who committed a crime that had less than three witnesses. And that includes anyone from the other side of the world.

And another unfortunate thing for the Dark Side of the world, the death penalty was brought back to life.

A Judge can enforce standard rules as well as those that we follow in health and safety in businesses. They have the authority to shut any business down that doesn't comply with the Standards of Health and Safety.

Both types of Judges get training in the medical field to ensure the survival rate of each person they come into contact, whether they were a criminal or a citizen.

If a Judge could not make a solid decision to conclude a crime, they had to call for a second Judge to make the decision based on what the first Judge on the scene told them. Or else, they would have to call on a Premiere Judge to make a final calling.

Now, as you know, the people on the Light Side of Earth didn't know what the new rules to the Dark Side of the Earth.

Many have mistaken some of the rules for excuses to do what they want.

Some crimes don't get dealt with right away.

Only specific crimes get dealt with swiftly.

Any forms of murder, whether the person dies or not, even attempted murder with any weapon that causes harm to the human body, causing it to bleed gets dealt with justly.

But how justly is it when a Judge shoots a Citizen for the act of attempted murder where there were no witnesses or proof and gets shot herself by a Premiere Judge?

Isn't that crazy?

A Judge got shot for obeying her duties. I guess the rules are different when the Citizen that committed the act of attempted murder was from the same side of the Earth as the victim.

A wife stabbed her husband in the chest with a small knife and there was no witness

But when dealing with the Citizens from the Light Side, it was deemed best to leave their acts to Premiere Judges.

I guess the Judge forgot that. But then, it is hard for some to know who belongs to what side of the planet when both have become equal in stature.

If the Judge had bothered to scan the woman, he would have known that they were not from the dark side of Earth. And only Premiere Judges are allowed to pass judgement on them.

Equal in what both sides wear in what we classed as fashionable.

But of course, it should be easy to tell because the Politically rich and Celebrities are the only ones that live on the Light Side of Earth.

 

When the leaders of the rich found out that the poor had made the Dark Side a thriving metropolis, they thought it would be best to put Earth back as it was before.

But with the form of law enforcement that the Dark Side abide by, it might make the transition a bit difficult.

The Citizens of the Light Side agreed to let the Judges of the Dark Side do their job.

Unfortunately for the Judges, the laws the Citizens of the Light Side follow are different.

The Commonwealths of both sides got together and decided on the best course of action to deal with the differences between the laws.

But, would this be what's best for both sides of the world?

10. The Story of the 4

In these times it was unusual for four boys born on the same day, the same time, and in the same town.

But in one small town called Marren's Eve, it happened.

Three of the four women became fast friends as they went through the labor pains and tried to help each other when it came time for the blessed event.

One of them even tried to help the young girl, but she swore at her and said to leave her alone.

They stayed in touch after they left the hospital.

Not much in the way of visiting, but by phone for moral support when there was an issue.

The families didn't know what each others personal life was like other than what they were willing to tell about themselves concerning their children.

Kyle and Eric knew about each other from parties they attended with their parents.

They didn't know that they shared the same birthday until school started.

Jake and Dean played with each other on occasion and were all set to start with school.

Only because it was the only elementary school in Marren's Eve, they all ended up in the same class together.

Kyle and Eric were already friends when they started school.

The two boys became friends instantly with Jake and Dean when they found out the four boys had the same birthday.

The four helped each other get through some tough times. They planned their lives out where they would be friends forever from that moment.

Kyle was a Fisher. He was the one with the brains. He fully planned to follow in his father's footsteps.

His father was an Architect for the North American continent.

Mr. Fisher made sure his family was very well off and never wanted anything. Only because he knew what it was like to not have anything.

Jake Harder was the 'other side of the tracks' boy. He had the street smarts of the group.

His family made do with what they got, but that only went so far. Jake got a job to help pay for the stuff that he wanted or needed to keep up with his friends, even though they assured him that Eric or Kyle would help him to get what he wanted.

Eric Sampson was the jock of the group. He lived right beside Kyle on the hill.

Mr. Sampson made sure Eric had the grades and kept him in line to play whatever sport was in season at the time.

Eric always had the best doctors and training crew to keep him in shape.

Sometimes the instructors would let Dean, Kyle, and Jake workout to since he was already there to train Eric.

Dean Sonnett had a harder life than his friends.

He had no birth parents to speak of that could be found.

The police found him wandering around the town with a backpack of clothes and his birth certificate, but it only had his first name.

All the other relevant information was deliberately blacked out.

No one found out what happened to his family. The police officer that went to the home listed as Dean's address found it empty of everything that belonged to the family.

He only found more of Dean's belongings.

So Dean had become a ward of the State and now lived with the officer who was kind enough to take him, which is how Dean got the name last name of Sonnett.

Officer Sonnett had made it a quiet mission to find out what happened to Dean's parents

Dean had gotten a job to help Officer Sonnett get his things as well.

 

The four boys always hung out together when Jake and Dean didn't work.

Kyle and Eric didn't care that Jake and Dean were not able to do what they could do whenever it involved money.

Not that there were many kids to become friends within their little hamlet of a township.

Kyle's dad even helped the four boys with what they needed for school functions.

Mr. Fisher understood what it was like to live a life without, so the boys would work for him to help pay for trips and other field trips.

Jake's family was appreciative of what Mr. Fisher did for the four boys as was Officer Sonnett on occasion.

The four families would even get together to keep in touch about what was going on. And to make sure there were no bad feelings about money or other issues that arose.

The three wives were happy about finally being able to spend time together as they sat around discussing recent events or about Dean and who his mother was.

Everything was going well for the boys, until their eighteenth birthday that is.

 

It was a tradition for Dean and Jake to have the day off from work on their birthday.

The four went into the woods to go to their fort behind Kyle's house like they always do.

But to their surprise, there was someone in their fort.

It was Beatrice Lennex, a girl that had a crush on Dean.

Dean didn't feel the same way about her though.

He didn't like any of the girls in their dusty little town, and Dean made a point to say that in front of Beatrice.

Beatrice was always trying to be where he was at the same time. But this time, she got to the boys' fort before them.

She had followed Dean around enough to know what he did on his birthday. She didn't care if his friends shared the same day.

Dean told her to leave, but she refused.

"Beatrice. Go away. This time is for birthday boys only," Dean said, starting to get angry.

"I'm intent on making myself your wife whether you want me to be or not," Beatrice stated loudly.

She said it so loud that Eric, Jake, and Kyle heard what she said.

"That's never going to happen, Bea. You can't just come here and get what you want without paying the toll," Eric stated at her comment.

Beatrice was cherub-like in how she looked.

She was beautiful but a little on the heavy side. People noticed her when they saw her in their wanderings.

But she wasn't too bright.

The day was warm and windy, and she was wearing a short dress that flared out when the wind gushed past.

Eric was the one that noticed Beatrice wasn't wearing the proper underwear.

"Well, Bea. If you want to be Dean's wife, you'll have to practice with all of us here," Eric retorted, wondering if she would take him seriously.

Jake expected Beatrice to leave at what Eric said. But because she didn't, Jake wondered what was on Eric's mind.

"Fair enough. So who do I have sex with first?" Beatrice asked.

Eric, Dean, and Jake were taken aback when she asked which one of them would have sex with her first.

Kyle stepped in and asked, "What makes you think being a wife has anything to do with sex, Bea? My mom cooks and cleans and ensures the house runs smoothly before she even has sex with my dad. I think you have the wrong conception of what a wife is."

Then Eric walked up behind her and placed both of his hands on Beatrice's shoulders.

"Well. The least we can do is give Bea a little taste of what she craves. After all, boys. It's not every day we cross a girl willing to give herself to us so freely," Eric stated as he moved his hands along Beatrice's back to her bum.

He even gave her a little tap on the butt that made her jump a little bit.

"I mean. Bea was even kind enough to dress up for us. How about it boy's?" Eric asked as he gestured to her.

Dean, Jake, and Kyle looked at each other and then back at Eric, who was already trying to get friendlier than they expected him.

He was already working on pulling her inside the fort to have his way with her.

Eric, Jake, and Kyle each took a couple turns with Beatrice. But then, Beatrice started getting mad because it was Dean she wanted.

Jake walked in for the third time and was about ready to go again, but then Beatrice pushed him away.

"No! I want Dean this time. Neither of you boys gets anything else out of me until I get him at least once," Beatrice stated as she pushed Jake out of the fort and pointed at Dean.

That made Dean angry.

He slowly walked into the fort and walked by Beatrice. She smiled at him as he walked by.

"Bye boys," Beatrice said as she turned around to follow Dean into the fort.

That would be the last thing she would say to either of them.

Dean was rough with her, and it went a lot farther than he intended.

He choked her as he rammed into her over and over again.

He released into her and let go of her neck.

But when he looked at her, Dean noticed Beatrice wasn't breathing.

He had choked her to death.

He stood up and pulled up his pants. Then he went outside to where the boys were waiting for Dean to finish with Beatrice.

They saw the look on his face and had to see for themselves why Dean was shocked.

Then they saw Beatrice. Eyes wide open, not moving or breathing.

"She didn't say anything. Bea didn't even struggle or try to stop me, "Dean said still in a state of shock.

"What do we do with her? I mean we could say we found her like this, but our DNA is all over her. The cop investigating her death would know it was one of us," Jake said.

The boys stood there in silence trying to think about what to do.

Eric was the first to suggest what to do with Beatrice.

"Hide her. We'll hide her here under the fort. Do you know that little crawlspace we used to use? That's the only place where no one would ever find her. Even a search dog won't go down there because it smells of sewage. We get her in there and bury her deep," Eric stated.

"That's crazy Eric. We can't do that. Besides, the sinkhole might be a better place to put her," Jake stated.

"We can't do that either. To get to the sinkhole, we'd have to go right by the police station. We'd have no choice but to explain how Bea died. I'm not going to tell the Sheriff we took turns until Bea got mad because she only wanted Dean, but had to be with the rest of us first," Kyle stated.

"Dean! What do you think?" Eric asked Dean.

"We go with what Eric said. I'll put her there myself. Make sure there is no trace of her here in case they look," Dean said as he walked over to the body and wrapped Beatrice back up in the dress she was wearing.

The boys worked with him to hide Beatrice under their fort.

The search for Beatrice started the next day when her parents realized she wasn't home the following morning.

The boys pretended to help in the search. They followed as Dean's foster father used the search dogs to see where she could be.

The dogs led them to the boys' fort and kept tracking back and forth as though she had been there and left.

As Eric said, the dogs couldn't pick up her scent at the crawl space to under the fort.

The police questioned the boys about Beatrice being at their fort.

Each boy told them that Beatrice had been there, but was upset that Dean didn't want to be with her.

They said they went back to talking and didn't know where Beatrice went after that.

The townspeople searched for a long time for Beatrice, but her parents figured she ran off to California like she threatened to.

When the search for her stopped, the four boys figured they had gotten away with murdering and hiding Beatrice's body.

 

After graduation, they went to a party planned by one of Eric's cousins.

Sherry was hovering around Kyle the entire party, telling him everything she planned the next day.

She was supposed to be leaving town for a road trip and wouldn't be coming back because of classes starting in September.

Kyle was not happy that Sherry was following him around all the time.

So he tried to leave her house.

Unfortunately for him, Sherry followed him.

Kyle didn't realize that Jake, Eric, and Dean had already left the party and went to their fort until he got there.

"Thanks for leaving me at the party alone guys. Sherry was a pain in the ass, telling me about what her plans were for the summer," Kyle stated irritatedly.

"Wow! I always wondered where your fort was," Kyle heard behind him.

Sherry had come out of her hiding spot. Not like there were very many more places to hide.

The three boys looked at Kyle and wondered what to do about her.

Kyle then grabbed Sherry by the shoulders and asked, "What do you want, Sherry?"

"You," Sherry answered.

So Kyle grabbed her hand and led her into the fort.

Eric didn't say anything as Kyle pulled Sherry past him.

He didn't like Sherry hanging off of Kyle the way she did.

The three boys waited as Kyle came out of the fort himself.

"Sorry about your cousin, Eric. It was the only way to stop her from hanging off me," Kyle stated as he stumbled out of the fort and fell on the ground.

So the boys hide Sherry's body where they hid Beatrice.

Then they went back to Sherry's house to cover up her tracks.

Everyone knew that Sherry was leaving the next day but didn't say what time she was going.

So when she didn't show up for breakfast the next day, her parents didn't get upset.

The boys found themselves in the clear when Sherry's parents didn't call the police.

The boys spent the summer devising plans to get out of their dusty little town and on to better things.

Of course, University was higher on their parents' list than it was on each boys' list.

The boys were all surprised when they got accepted into the same schools.

It was an issue for Deans' foster dad though.

Sheriff Sonnett wanted to be able to send Dean to University or College, but the funding for a scholarship fell through when some Senator made changes to the requirements.

And since he couldn't pay for the schooling Dean wanted, he hoped that Dean would go to the Police Academy and follow in his footsteps.

And that was what the four boys did; spent time talking about what they would do for a career and how it would benefit what had happened recently.

Sherry and Beatrice were just the tips of the iceberg on the boys' murder spree.

Three more girls had found a new home under the boys' fort, as well as one boy that had caught them in the act.

So they agreed that Dean should become a police officer.

Jake was going into law to become a Lawyer.

Kyle would still become an architect to build a new fort to ensure the bodies stayed hidden.

And Eric became an environmental bio-engineer to ensure that the dogs couldn't find the bodies.

Summer finally came to an end, and that was when the boys panicked a bit.

Mr. Miller called the Sheriff because they had an issue with Sherry.

Sherry's parents asked for him to bring the boys to see them about Sherry.

So Sheriff Sonnett called each one of the boys and told them to meet with him at the Miller's.

"We're in for it," Dean said as they met up with each other outside The Miller's house.

"Don't panic yet. Just relax," Kyle said confidently.

The boys waited for the Sheriff.

But as it turned out, he was already there and waiting for the boys inside with the Miller's.

The maid opened the door and told the boys that the Sheriff was already there and he and the Miller's were waiting for them in the sitting room.

When they stepped into the sitting room, they could see that Mrs. Miller had been crying.

She looked up and saw Eric instantly.

She rushed over to hug him and asked, "Did you hear from Sherry yet? School has started, and Sherry never checked in with anyone. The school said the Police found her car abandoned on the highway in California. Her stuff was still in it, but she wasn't there. Please tell me you heard from her, Eric."

"Sorry, Aunt Trudy. She hasn't contacted since she left the day of the graduation party. Sherry told me she would call when she could, but I guess her trip was more than she expected, " Eric said as he gave an inward sigh of relief.

Dean had left her car on the highway with the keys in the ignition.

And as Dean said, someone saw it and taken it until it ran out of gas. Lucky for them, Sherry filled the tank earlier that day.

 

As time went on over the next ten years, their kill counts continued to climb.

Jake, Dean, and Kyle each had a burial ground in whatever town they lived in at that time.

And as Eric promised, no one would ever find their victims because of the chemicals Eric came up with to dispose of the bodies.

But that changed one summer.

The boys were at their fort as they did every summer when they came back home for a month.

Eric was listening to the others complain about the kids in their neighborhoods in their new hometowns.

Jake, Dean, and Kyle planned to take care of their issues as Eric stated it was wrong to go after little kids that were getting a start in life.

"It's different for kids. I prefer to stick with those our ages. Not going after a bunch of kids because they're noisy. Don't you remember being that noisy as kids?" Eric asked

"Then they need to learn to respect their elders then. Don't you think, boys?" Kyle addressed Jake and Dean.

"Sorry, Eric. But I agree with Kyle. I tell them to be quiet or talk to their parents, but it didn't help. It's not worth it to complain anymore. It's time to take this into our own hands," Jake stated.

Dean nodded in agreement and said, "I'll come and help you, Jake. Since you have more of the little brats to deal with."

So they left the fort on the last day of their visit and headed back to their homes. And as promised, Dean, Jake, and Kyle started to do as they said they were going to do.

Eric watched the news as it reported that children were starting to disappear in Jake's neighborhood.

A few others from different areas of the city were missing too, but Eric figured it was to throw the investigators off the trail.

The reports of missing children began in Kyle's and Dean's city neighborhoods as well.

It was becoming too much for the citizens of the cities, that the hot lines were only ringing with false information.

Dean planned it that way so no one would know where the children could be in their neighborhood.

A couple of the mothers went on the air pleading with the possible kidnappers to return their children.

That's when Eric decided that he had to put a stop to them. His friends. His brothers.

Oddly enough, Eric didn't mind the murdering of people as long as they were in their age category.

But to lash out at little kids made Eric angry.

Angry enough to plan the murder of his best friends.

The boys told each other everything, even where they hid the bodies of their new victims in their cities.

Of course, Eric already knew what he needed to know about each site.

So Eric got to work because he wanted to make sure none of them would be left when he completed his plan.

He mapped out
