Video Store


It resides within a darkened corner
At the end of a lane where few dare to tread
It had a store name but now it’s faded
Its windows are as black as a mourner
There’s no way to see in: Step through the door.
But it only opens at the dusk hour
Once inside it smells of a dead flower
And the shadows dominate by the score
There’s no kid friendly stuff within these halls
Only the stare of demons and nightmares
Of a thousand murderers. And the gaze
As faces etched with fear scream from the walls

When you leave it’s quick: Sprint back up the lane
But the store knows that you’ll be back again
