Snow Globe
The shaking of it must be just right.
Thus you’ll see the snowman and
diminutive cottage aswim in softest white.
One man reflexively agitates to larger,
darker flakes.
Dark red glow under as, soon enough, the cottage catches fire, snowman melts.
Then all so black, the man drops the sooty globe, but can’t escape the blackness everywhere it rolls and rolls!
Becomes so liquid dark all around him that he hides. No use--ever again.
the dark now.

Game! Life! Show!
The Psychologists right! He had nightmares after watching
Harrowing Shadows in its regular late slot.
So, he bought the game since he figured he could tie up
loose ends, and go to sleep satisfied.
Finally, he dismissed the TV entirely to enter the virtual
hallway where José was holding off the machine pistol attack
of biker, Ropes.
The latter hologram didn’t see him one fated night, so Teps
laser-gunned him, it, to death.
Triumph! So back to the bedroom and slept like a baby!
...
“You do realize, Teps, that it’s merely a game based on a show?”
He had won the Pancake Ranch Breakfast with José and Producer
Sally for finally getting the elusive Ropes.
“Now I do, but not when I’m zapping that maniac, or another
motorcycle pervert!” laughed Teps. They joined in.
Finally José proclaimed “If I eat another chocolate chip pancake,
I’ll become one!”
“Method Acting!” shot Producer Sally.
