A flash that’s what I saw

When I sneaked closer it was clear what it was

It was a cape attached to a little girl

She lifted her head and screamed running away

Running after her I kept my eyes on that red cape

It seemed she didn’t know that the red cape was leading me right to her

I could almost taste the blood running down my throat

Sharpening my eyes I stayed focused

Seeing where she was headed I picked up speed

I looked back to see she had fallen

Taking advantage I ran to the cottage that was ahead

I wanted to torment the little girl some more

Mother wouldn’t be happy with me she always said never play with your food
