Rated: 13+ · Book · Contest Entry · #2208434
Most entries are going to be E rated but some may go beyond that.
You just want to read? These entries will be freshly written for a contest. Since I plan on joining many then I'm putting them all in a book. Sit back and enjoy it. I'll try to do a (poem) line count, (story) word count, prompt, and which contest I entered in. Though I won't be mentioning it in the piece, but "The Contest ChallengeOpen in new Window. will be a part of a contest I enter since it's about entering into a contest following its rules. Wish me luck!

Clip clop clip clop
The sound of hooves
Drew near

Neigh neigh
The cry of a horse
Calls out

"Come out come out
Wherever you are for I am here,"
The rider called out.

Out I came
A bucket in my hand
Prepared.

The rider aloft
Missing a head but body intact
Turned toward me.

In fear I turned
Only to find him in front of me
Vulnerable.

"No, no, no.
You haven't said the magic word.
Go on."

I thought and thought
The magic word couldn't be simple
And panicked.

"Please go on.
It's Halloween night.
Let me be."

"You said it.
I'm going on my way to trick
Someone else."

Prompt: Headless Horseman
Line Count: 30
Contest: "Spirits at Lighthouses ChallengeOpen in new Window.
