A quick horror read just in time for a Halloween scare. Because the book is based on the screenplay (by David Loucka) of a movie of the same title, the book’s words follow the film almost exactly. In the movie, Jennifer Lawrence stars as Elissa. She is the teenage daughter who, together with her mom, move to an affluent area in a house they can afford to rent only because of a murder that occurred next door four years earlier. Soon Elissa meets the not-so-dreamy boy next door, only to discover that the horror still lingers.

Redemption gone south
Nocturnal eternity,
Point of no return.
Demon Ice
Lucifer’s cold sweat
Streaks down her writhing body,
Chilling her warm heart.
Demon Eyes
Window to abyss
Visions of depravity,
Blinding evilness.

Spare your staff,
Hold your curses,
Let me take half
Of your silken purses.
I’m just a lowly citizen
With mouths to feed
By the dozen;
My reason is not greed.
Allow me to go free
Leave you to your rest
All I ask you to agree
Is to let go of that treasure chest.

New World Disorder

The tall ships sailed
Outward bound
Fated to find a new world
To be conquered
Land ho!
Much to see, o!
Round up the bands
Of natives and their lands
Create new brands
Under the explorer’s commands
‘Tis a new world order
With a rebound border
Survival of the fittest
Along with a long list
Of those willing to enlist
To put up their figurative fist.
So Quote Me . . .
A belated THANK YOU to Thumbup for nominating me months ago to participate in the 3-Day Quote Challenge a Day. To be more specific, it was a couple of weeks after the 4th of July (so I’m not that late). With Halloween-tinged trickery, I deliberately applied malapropism to three well-known sayings:
“When the groin gets tough, apply lotion to it.”
— Mr. Magoo (a cartoon character who has extreme myopia)
——————————————————–
“Keep your hands close and your enemas closer.”
— Book of Toilet Dilemmas (a rear book)
——————————————————-
“Two bongs won’t win the fight.”
— Chee [a Cheech-wannabee]

El Niño
Gone loco,
Upset La Niña,
So no buena.
Category four
A lethal score,
Mother Nature,
Such a player.
Making waves
Like mad raves.
That’s her way,
We get no say.

Session gone awry,
Embittered spirits disturbed,
Rampant possessions.
