Herein lies the secret, come close, you’re still too far away,

closer now, closer, I will not bite, yes. The closeness shrouds your

vision, the senses warped, your mind is already in the process of becoming

transformed for the road that is hidden spells many fantastic novelties,

of ghouls wrapped up in Christmas paper and tied neatly with cute

ribbons because that is the way of enticement, and the road

wants souls, wants flesh, wants living beings to enter,

take part in the quest for the game that is life changing, changing

as time clocks past, clocks on, the weathered eyes slowly turn around

and the road that was open, found is hidden once again. He is old, aged,

very much changed for in the exchange of goods and services,

he too had made his sacrifice.
