A Night in Threed
by KingDarian

Come, gather ‘round children
and open an ear
for a tale of enchantment
adventure, and fear

It all happened one night
in the old town of Threed
Unbeknownst, they arose
at a flaming bat's speed

Not alive, but not dead
rotting flesh, brittle bone
Restless under the earth
Waking up with a moan

Breaking soil on the graves
from six feet underground
came the thin hands of men
and the paws of a hound

Breathing in the cold air
fills their chests with no heart
But these creatures that stir
need no heartbeats to start

Given reanimation
from an evil most vile
zombies, ghosts, even vomit
in a slimey little pile

Taking over the town
Terrorizing with havok
All the people ran screaming
even mayor McGavock

When a brave young couple
tried to find out the truth
they were tricked and soon ambushed
in a style most uncouth

Bound and then beaten
Tossed into a tomb
Young Ness and young Paula
were soon saved by a BOOM!

Their prayers were answered
by Jeff Andonuts
He journeyed from Winters
with wisdom and guts

They made their escape
No longer confined
Facing ghouls, pests, and puppets
with darkness in mind

A shot of a rocket
and strong-burning fire
were weapons of choice
in the moments most dire

Unusual paper
from a trustworthy friend
Stopped the fiends in their tracks
Put their plot to an end

'Twas the honey of flies
that did in their boss
Returning the skies
to their azure blue gloss
