Heaven didn’t want the maiming boy
Ambling away from the Pearly Gates
Underneath the Earth, another was watching
Netherworld needing another soul
To hunt and gather missing children
Ignorant of their awful plight
Never to walk the grass again
Goodnight

Jack and Jill lay on the hill
We huddled in the dark closet for what seemed like forever, our hearts pounding in our chests.
My hands shook in the cold rain as I fumbled with the shovel handle as another flash of lightning illuminated the back deck’s leaf litter blanket.
Ruthanne stopped apologizing years ago.
