A Countryside Hike Gone Wrong

Ten years ago, I went on holiday to a house in the country with some friends. One day, we decided to go for a walk near the house. At first, it was sunny. We walked and chatted. It was perfect. After two hours, we came to a beach, but we didn't know where we were.

Suddenly, it got very cold, and it started to snow. We walked and we walked. Three hours later, we found a road. We walked along the road and eventually, we came to a pub. It was seven o'clock at night. We stayed in the pub. Someone drove us home in the morning.

Her Poisoned Tongues

Birthed from the cocoon of lunacy,
A child raised by the seed of dementia forming.
Fatherless daughter of false, poisoned tongues,
She moves upon her own path of madness, astray.
From fear that she will soon be used like scum,
Hypnotic to her victims that she chooses to suck dry.
Hypocritical, parasitic lies.
You wretched filth, mark my words: your life shall be taken by my hands.
I'll tear the pulsing bag of shit from your chest and burn it before your eyes.
Upon your grave, I shall stand as a monument of hate that will never move.
And I will smile in contentment at your passing in my malevolence.

You are best where you've always belonged:
Under six feet of shit, nailed in a pinewood box.
