Untitled (Part 3) Poem by Lissa Parks

My House

So I went back into my
house.
My eyes filled with tears as I look
around at all the pictures of me
and my parents.
They were gone.
I don't know how but they seemed
to disappear from the planet.
I went to their bedroom, and
peeked in.
It looked like no one has slept in it
for a very long time.
I suddenly noticed there was a
huge pool of blood on the floor.
I started to panic.
Then started to cry.
Then out of nowhere I started
to scream.
I cried out for my parents.
But no answer.
We had no telephone, so I couldn't
call anybody.
So I had a decision to make.
Either I stay here in my home
till someone finds me
Or I go walk through the woods
and the cemetery back to my friends
house.
So I've decided to sleep in my
bed for the night and then go from
there.
So the next morning I took off
into the woods, heading to my friends
house beyond the cemetery.
I don't it would be as haunted
as much in the day then night.
I hope I'm right.
So I started down the path into
the woods.
I took a different route this
time.
I've heard it was the fastest
way to get to my friend's place.
And they also told me that I
might be able to miss the
cemetery.
As I was walking down the
new path.
It seems to be much more lively then
the other way.
There were flowers out, birds chirping,
I spotted a few cute baby deer too.
As I kept walking, I came to
this bridge that went over a beautiful
creek.
As I was walking over the bridge
I heard this deep voice saying
"Get off my bridge."
I turned around and no one was there
so I kept crossing the bridge.
Then I heard the voice again
This time it said,
" Do you have a death wish, little
girl? I said GET OFF MY BRIDGE"
he yelled.
This time when I turned around
and looked,
At first I didn't see anyone then I
heard a little man's voice say
"Down here."
So I looked down at him
and said "What are you? '
And he said, "I'm a dwarf. My name
is Happy."
I started to laugh.
I thought this was all a joke.
So Happy goes " Why are you laughing?
And I told him cause it was
the name of the Dwarf off of
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
And Happy goes, " Yes, that's me.
Welcome to Disney Lane. Where you
get to choose what path to go on."
I asked him how many paths
there were. I told him about the
path through the woods and the
cemetery.

He looked at me and said
don't ever walk through those at
nighttime. At least not alone.
And I asked him why.
He said because the evil
thing will come out. And I told
him about the thing in the cemetery and the
thing in the woods.
He looked at me and asked me
by any chance if my name was Snow
White.
I replied yes, but I'm not a princess.
He goes well you are a
princess and the Evil Queen killed your
parents and now your home is haunted.
That's why you a
