He Took My Soul (104 words)




He took my soul
and hide it in a place
I cannot go.
.
He rode a horse
with masked face,
The Silver sword shows the force.
.
He traveled all night,
His eyes slit of light,
what fearsome sight.
.
He called me twice,
Too bad I could not recognize his voice,
so I hand him up with no other choice.
.
He visited me with no warning at all,
He took my soul
while I was on the way to the shopping mall.
.
I tried to call 911 for help,
But I keep hearing a voice,
"The number you have dialed
is no longer in service."

Perfect! You had me hooked with "He took my soul and hid it in a place I cannot go.." Then you connected it to "He took my soulwhile I was on the way to the shopping mall.."

And the twist at the end is, well, just right.

Namaste..........cj

Thanks for your comment on my entry.

I had to laugh at "he took my soul/while I was on the way to the shopping mall."
But it is chilling in its way. I enjoyed it. Thank you.
