A spiraling staircase leads below to worlds unknown


One sign resides at the top before the first step drops

What thoughts race through a curious mind as you look down

As far as your eyes can see long and it keeps going

Other bystanders keep passing by never even taking a look

Until finally you decide to get close and commit to one step

WAIT! someone screams in fear for you causing you to back up

What, wait, huh , what do you mean you mutter confused

The gentleman says “ you must not be from around here “

If you were then you would know that this stairway is a trap

You reply back “ what do you mean, I don’t understand “

Just trust me kid it’s not worth your time , you must move on

Go! Get and never ever be tempted again to consider

For what lies below none of us know for one mere fact

Not one soul has ever lived to tell of what is down below

As you turn to look back down at the endless stairs that spiral

You look back at the strange man and he’s no where in sight

Your body gets chills as your mind’s thoughts cross paths

You are drawn back to that sign but this time it is totally bare

You start to get creeped out wondering, how this could be ?

But yet that dark black spiral staircase leading down remains

You put your hand on the top of the rail ¥ as you grasp it firmly

You lift your right foot to plant down on the first drop...

Don’t ! Someone screams as you retract your foot back

What do you think you’re doing ? Cant you read the sign !

The woman in a dress-suit finishes yelling  at you

You reply back what do you mean ma'am I’m confused

She firmly reaches out her arm and points her finger at it

You plead with her you never read that or those words

But rather it stated something different before

She laughed hysterically and scary loud with her head back

And when she came back to eye level with yours .......


You couldn’t believe what you saw ..... it’s your ex-girlfriend

What in the hell? you ask as her hands turn to claws

The gentleman’s voice from before yells “ I told you so “

Run, Run, Run! He pleads but where? as you’re  cornered

The staircase the only place left to go as her eyes turn red

Thorns appear from her hair as her heels explode off

You feel stuck in place, truly lost not knowing what to do

She takes her claw and points one last time at that sign

You look in fear and cannot believe what you read
