Blame the Muse

“Use what talents you possess…The woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those who sung best.” Henry Van Dyke

poets weave
twenty-six letters
into thoughts
impressions
words to inspire, to move
and then blame the muse

It was more than a “clean up on aisle 3” type of request which is why the police were called and the sanitation crew ordered to wait outside for their arrival.

This was the 10th time in as many months that they had been called to the Utopia Night Club on Main to clean up the mess, interestingly, always the day following a full moon.

It was particularly gruesome and troubling that splattered everywhere was not the usual animal blood, but human.

The Webs – Part 2

Dr. Lloyd’s horrible demise had been captured in real time on video revealing the terrible truth about the beautiful webs. As the images went viral fear gripped the hearts of people worldwide.

Every nation joined forces against the alien attack. Military teams were dispatched to the landing sites with orders to torch the web pods, and tanks armed with missiles were sent to deal with the creatures.

But it was too late. While the world slept that fateful night, the creatures had laid millions of eggs that hatched at the first light of day…and the arachnoid hatchlings were hungry.
