The sand is soft beneath my feet.
I’m sure I’ve found a pleasant treat.
A metal door swipes across the sky,
removing the sun from the blue sky.
Trapped in a replica of my town,
I watch the sand become dark brown.
My longed-for peace won’t be won
since I’ve trusted the wrong one.
PREY FOR THE DEAD
The mansion is dreary.
One should be leery
of entering its gate.
Better leave it to fate.
Each room offers a view
of history for you.
Beautifully furnished rooms
swept clean by invisible brooms.
“Who lives here?” you might ask
if you dare take him to the task.
“Only I,” he might reply
with a twinkle in his eye.
He steps closer to me.
His eyes are red I can see.
Is he a creature of the night?
My heart pounds with fright.

Silence reigns supreme.
The sun hides its face.
Palm trees shake their leaves.
Winds quicken their pace.
The hotel stands deserted.
Flapping sounds fill the air.
Dark shadows join the fray
Beneath his icy stare.
THE DEAD GAME SERIES
A perfect oasis on the shore.
You could not ask for anything more.
Sun and surf during the day,
But at night there’s hell to pay.
The waves welcome daily swimmers,
But at night there are no winners.
Afraid to venture out after dark,
Residents stay clear of the town park.
One night, a hanging party was had
By the dark creatures who are plain bad.
Our town is plagued by darkness and woe.
We don’t even know who is our foe.

Embroiled in the vamps’ evil games,
Shana travels to Quebec
for the vampire summit.
Amid murder and betrayal,
she must help her friends
find a way to save humanity.
THE DEAD AT HEART
Brutal winds follow close on my heels,
Thunder and lightning joining the crusade.
Fluorescent lights paint the night sky,
Rings of orange, yellow, and red.
A vortex of horror in unending circles
Makes its way to the small town of Oasis,
Where I will be waiting with a sword in hand,
Secure in the knowledge Wolf won’t win.
The Watchers have joined the battle.
They stand on the hill beyond,
Their raincoats flapping in the wind,
Concealing their cache of weapons.
We will protect Linda from the devil,
An army standing strong against the harsh winds.
The Father clutches his bible of spells,
Ready to cast the evil from our town.
We have come together as one,
Humans, vampires, and human vampires.
The last battle on this earthly planet,
Which will determine our combined fate.
Linda clings to her friends,
Huddled together in the storm.
Will she choose wisely and correctly?
Will she choose me above The Dead?
The time has come for the showdown.
Time has slowed to a halt.
We raise our weapons above our heads,
Waiting for evil to make its final appearance.
Wolf has been given a new body,
But I recognize his deadly soul.
A new package for an old one
Does not change the battle to be won.
Our games have just begun.
PREY FOR THE DEAD
They appear in front of me
and then behind me.
Am I being followed,
or led down an evil path?
THE DEAD GAME
I want to taste your sweet nectar
and lose myself in your fragrance.
Your blood will be mine
as I pluck you from the vine.
THE DEAD GAME
A dead game played in hell.
Wait for the warning bell.
Once the windows & doors lock,
no need to feign any shock.
You are mine for the night
until the morning light.
PREY FOR THE DEAD
Innocent.
Alone.
There is something not quite right.
Meetings are held at midnight.
Dark shadows creep the street.
You don't know whom you'll meet.
Take me from here.
The Dead, I can't bear.

I ride the waves to their full height.
I fight The Dead with all my might.
This is the perfect town for me
where vampires roam the nights free.
THE DEAD GAME
You belong to us now.
I say this with a bow.
You will follow us to hell.
As we ring the nightly bell.
Our servant you will be.
You’ll never be set free.
The town belongs to us.
No reason for a fuss.
