Bloody Mary - A Sleepover Nightmare : A Modern Long Haiku

 A Sleepover Nightmare 



She comes out at night
A teen sleepover gone wrong
No one will survive

Soda pop, junk food
Laughter before the screaming
Prank calling teachers

Pillow fights.. Pj’s
Midnight, the witching hour
Mary is waiting

Urban legends told
Nightmares unfold in their minds
Truth or dare my friends

The candle is lit
Slowly she creeps up the stairs
She opens the door

Nothing but darkness
Inch by inch she creeps inside
Creek go the floor boards

The candle flickers
She holds her breath and enters
Her body becomes numb

Frozen she stands there
The sound of dripping water
Her face hot and damp

The candle light glows
She peers into the mirror
And takes a deep breath

Bloody Mary..One
The thudding sound of her heart
Bloody Mary.. Two

Bloody Mary..Three
Nothing but a pool of blood
Warm, sticky crimson

Her friends call her name
Silence engulfs the upstairs
No one moves an inch

They call her name again
Still no sound comes from upstairs
The ascent begins

Something’s not quite right
Slowly they move towards the door
A girl screams and faints

Their friend is no more
Bloody Mary has taken her
Leaving only death

No more sleepovers
Only horrific nightmares
Learned your lesson girls?
