The dandelion sways in the violent wind,

something terrible is about to happen 

The moon grows brighter, illuminating the earth. 

The dandelion sways no more. 

All is silent. 

A small pitter-patter can be heard from afar. 

that's the sound of blood hitting the floor 

It grows louder and louder, 

A blood trail seemingly appearing from thin air. 

The dandelion sways once more. 

A horrible screech can be heard from the clearing. 

Metal scraping metal. 

The killer comes once more. 

The machete in his hand,Stained with red. 

The wind is silent once again. 

Shallow breaths can be heard from the road. 

She huffs and puffs, 

Her lungs burning for air. 

she can't run anymore 

The gap between her and the blade grow oh so smaller. 

He lifts his arm, 

Strikes once, 

Strikes twice. 

all is silent once more 

Blood stains the clearing, 

The moonlight reflecting from the puddles. 

The dandelion sways once more. 

The wind is angry. 

Creating a storm. 

The seed-bearing parachutes fly into the night sky, 

and the dandelion is now bare. 

As rain starts to pour, 

The red on the floor begins to get washed away, 

As the killer drags his victim out of sight. 

And the dandelion sways no more.
