Story of the Day: Horror 14 / by Adam Dugas

Missy was a nasty one, a really petty bitch.
It was no shock to anyone, when she fell to the witch.
The evil hag had terrorized the town from wooded haunt
Beginning with a hunger spell that turned the people gaunt.
They begged for mercy, pleaded with the witch to turn the tide
But she enjoyed their suffering and tearing down their pride.
For they had been so cruel to her for many suffering years
Not bothering to think about how she was wracked with tears.
If they had only showed the slightest inkling of care
Perhaps she could forgive their hate, and maybe she would spare
The populace from torture, pain and burning of the hair
But then dumb Missy had to go and tell the witch right off
Thinking she was tough and hard, but soon began her cough
She coughed up hard and couldn’t seem to ever find her breath
Then blood came up and parts of lung and that soon led to death.
The body lay upon the ground and no one went to claim
Her ugly corpse for on her head did people lay the blame.
But guilty were they all for their transgressions to the witch
and so she slowly killed them all and dumped them in a ditch.
