STUNNED
I saw the magic man that day
He was giving magic to all the kids who would steal a soul for him.
The kids in the village lined in front of him with their paper sacks
Grinning
Addicted
And in the paper sacs?
Snacks for the magic man
The children would let him feast On anyone he demanded
In rhe sacs were the souls of their siblings, moms, dads,aunts, pets
Anything for a hit of that magic
Oh how the children smiled
Oh how they wept at night
Coming off the magic and weaping realizing what they had just done
I was the last one
The one who didnt try the magic.
And I saw HIM
STUNNED
I smiled
And the magic man had me
He had all the children in the town
And we were hungry
