Apocalypt (hic) a - A wee break

 


"I need a drink, time to reflect

this is all getting a bit much,

It's hard to think, 

to get the threads to connect,

To make those loose ends bind.

Ending humankind

is a field of landmines."

War roared.

 

"I can't believe they gave me. ME a verbal warning"

Death lamented

 

3 HOURS LATER...

 

The bar was thrumming,

sweat soaked bodies squirming.

Beer splashing through the buzzing air,

in the bathrooms, a young man churning

and a skeletal figure taking centre stage.

 

"He is really killing it

on the dance floor.

I never knew he had

such fancy moves"

 

"I love you man, no really, Love all of you,

like yeah bombs and stuff are great, but

Mate. Y'know. Mate, you guys are the best.

Another round of jagerbombs! Bring it on.

Ohh wait I need a wee"

 

Pestilence in a melancholic moment

was painting spots and pimples

on all of the pretty ones.

"Nobody ever talks to me

in these places, it gets so lonely"

 

Famine was flirting with the idea

of another beer,

When a man came over,

asked her to dance.

"Why, yes let us take to the floor,

I hunger to be moved by the music

you humans so adore"

 

A scream

Then ten more,

then the whole room vibrated

as everyone tried

to run for the door.

Death stood tall,

scythe primed

and spun, taking down everyone.

The horse people sat together,

and raised a glass.

The perfect ending

to an evening of fun.
