The Dead City
by Asena Lourenco

The lights of the city fade to none,

The eerie night had begun,

Streets devoid of all living things,

Apart from the ones with dark, gossamer wings,

Screeching screams squabbled in the form of squawks,

The walls of many whispers, deep in talk,

The alleyways, illuminated by the dim streetlights,

Not one stroke of colour was in sight,

The cause of this, no one can be sure,

All that is known is that it was done from a soul impure,

This town was robbed from all things alive,

Not one person was known to survive,

So, lock up your doors and shut your blinds,

Because if you don’t, you will be the one that they find
