Was never to be told
But you told it to the crowd of teens that night as we all sat around the fire.
And it was your turn to tell a scary tale, and as soon as you started, I knew this would not end well.
As others gather around, their interest grows more robust as you go on.
I sneaked away and locked the back door as I knew how this would all end.
With you all alone and everyone who heard the story was sucked in as you get up and blow out the fire.
All I can see before it dark are your red eyes and the evil grin on your face.
