Dante's Stalker
"Outrun this!"
So, I tried to write a synopsis for my Nano. I really suck at cutting out all the hyperbole and getting down to the premise itself, because it's the detail that makes the plot intriguing.
But I still tried anyway, and I ended up with.... a poem? Thing.
Which is worse in a sense because I'm no poet.
Still, I spent an hour writing it with some aid of my writing buddies on twitter, and it encompasses the overall theme of the plot.
Feedback is welcomed and concrit appreciated.
But really, if you only read it, that's enough for me. ^_^
**^^~~^^**
There once were two girls
Who lived in their own,
The first had a house
Of flesh and bone
But everyone knows
How easy it is
To bribe and manipulate
The lips with a kiss
When the big bad devil
In the deceiving guise of a sheep
Comes knocking on her door
And in a voice from the deep
Says, ‘Little one, little one,
So lovely and sweet,
Let me come in
For you’ve swept me off my feet’
She falls for a lie
Let’s him into her heart
Where he corrupts her body
And tears her soul apart.
Now the second girl
So much like the first
Only in beauty
For she knew of the cursed,
So she built her house
Of knowledge and will
Brick by brick she created
A wall to keep out evil,
When the big bad devil
With his wicked tricks and lies
Comes knocking on her door
Despite her strength, he tries,
‘Little one, little one,
So clever and wise,
Let me come in
Or your lovely sister dies’
‘Leave me be, devil,
for you lie and you cheat’
This angered the devil,
Whom refused to admit defeat.
‘Open the door,
Or I’ll break your house down,
You can’t defy me,
For I am of old and renown’
Again the girl said,
‘Leave me be, devil,
Lest you provoke,
The wrath of the good,
The light and fire without smoke’
She locks her door tight
And closes her window
And watches the devil
Begin to huff and bellow,
He starts to pace
With red face and horns
He growls his contempt
His eyes black as coals,
‘You dare challenge me
The prince of the darkness,
You are a dumb little spirit,
With a sharp tongue that is harmless’
But the girl covers her ears
And says, ‘Like the arch angel Michael
You once tried to quarrel,
I learnt from him this one moral;
To not engage in battle
Or even conversation with you,
You will not come in, and if you try,
May the Lord rebuke you’
The devil, most displeased
Says to the girl, ‘Don’t you
Care, that I have claimed your twin?’
But the girl didn’t argue;
For she was covering her ears
And she could hear no evil,
Because she could hear no evil
She did speak no evil;
The devil conjures up
His legion of minions,
Rallies together his foot soldiers
And his warriors upon their stallions,
But the girl turns her back
And closes her eyes for good measure
So she will see no evil,
Her wisdom is her precious treasure;
The truth is her strength,
That breathes fire into her will,
Even if the devil destroys
Her mortal home, her vessel,
She will never be his,
Never give in, never surrender,
Not in this life or any other,
And the battle wages on, forever and ever.
