However, justice sat on the back burner of her fixed income these days, and none of her girlfriends seemed to have noticed the man slip the white substance into her Cosmo before he slid off to the bathroom toward the rea...
Bad Dinner
“God damn it Gale we’ve been over this. If you want me to sleep with you just say something don’t go puttin weird drugs into my food.” Rolling my eyes I try to ignore all the strange looks I got from passersby’s.

Kill The Queen

The waiter brings me the drink a...
Preservation
Molly put the arsenic in my food when I was sitting down to eat; I saw it from the corner of my eye. I couldn’t blame her; I would want me gone, too. But of course, on the other end of things … I wasn’t too keen to see that happening. I wasn’t wrong; she hadn’t fumbled with the other guests’ plates like she had with mine.
“This looks delicious!” I said as she set the plate before me. Rich, red p...

The Poison
I’m only your henchman
Doing your bidding
Day in and day out
Like a robotic minion
I’ve lost all my scruples

To serve your sweet justice
Abandoned my own dreams
The love I once had
Turning the good inside me
To borderline bad
Now you ask me to serve him
Sweet wine so fermented
With smokey pink venom
That’s pungently scented
I yearn to go back...
