The grass was silent,
Then, they appeared behind him,
Little men, laughing...
*
He knew what that meant,
Soon, their horses were coming,
To claim a victim... 😎
Cries for help are heard,
deep within the fields at dusk
I rush toward them.
I call out searching,
going deeper into the dark
"Where are you? I'm here!"
I stumble and fall,
dead things lay all around me,
I cry out for help.
