A lonesome house, seen across the land
Is watched over by, a troubled man
He was a priest, from times of old
At least that’s how the story’s told
A cellar lies, down stairs so steep
In which hides a secret, he must keep

It hides a door, a secret portal
Never to be opened, by any mortal
The priest was a hunter, in his day
But he didn’t hunt animals, per ‘say
He thwarted demons that escaped from hell
Then enclosed them in his earthly cell
But the man grows old, his time is near
The world is once again feeling fear
The demons are restless, growing strong
We need a replacement, are you the one?
Originally Written in response to Sue Vincent’s #WritePhoto challenge – Isolated using the fabulous photo of the lonely house seen in the skyline. So does anyone want the job? Lol. KL ❤
Well, that’s different! 🙂
Haha, thanks Sue. Yeah, I have no idea where it came from 🙂 definitely a bit obscure (dark even). Different from the love story I did for last weeks photo. It’s the variety you inspire 🙂 KL ❤
I have been amazed at how many different takes each of the photos have inspired 🙂
I’m the same, I love clicking on all the links on the round-up and then just working through the tabs (sometimes I have caught the stories on re-blogs but a second visit is never a bad thing :)), each week the variety astounds me, each piece so unique. KL ❤
We have some good ones lined up this week too 🙂
Great response KL, though not sure it is the job for me..
Haha! Thanks very much Michael. I’m not sure I’d be too keen to apply either. You do hear stories of nightmare jobs (and bosses) these days, think this could be one of them. KL ❤
Oh, this is an amazing poem! Left me wanting more=)
Thanks Louise. I wasn’t entirely sure were it came from, a bit darker than I planned. KL ❤
“Job opportunity for a sentinel”. Nice take on the photo. .
Thank you very much pensitivity101. KL ❤
Nice one. I love the way you ended by bringing the reader into the story. My response was an immediate “NO!” 🙂
Hmmm. Nope, I’m not the one. Great story.
Thank you very much macjam47 I’m sure someone will take up the challenge 🙂 (but it’s not me either – lol). KL ❤
