A Poem by Michael Thrower
"

A stranger came up to me wearing a hoodie that hid his face, handing me a book with my name as the cover.

"

Walking home from work one night

A hooded figure passed me by

Eyes hidden beneath the hood

A smirk I saw, then understood.

 

Quickly I began to run past

Yet, his grip snatched me way too fast

Without a word he showed me a book

My name on the cover; I saw and shook.

 

He pushed the book close to my chest

I took it from him in my distress

Opening to the very first page

I saw in print my life on display.

 

I looked back and the man was gone

So quickly I ran back to my home

The night was long and treacherous

As I read every detail, my whole life in print.

 

I read to where I was currently

Then noticed something very interesting

In horror I shut the book away

Seeing as I was on the last page.

wow Michael! This was a very gripping poem. I was sucked in during the very first line and felt myself living the poem as I was reading it. I saw everything- the expressions, emotions of confusion, smugness, fear, shock, I saw the dark surrounding, the darker hood. And oh my goodness that ending was great! I couldn't see it coming! Very original idea and piece, and- of course- very well written as usual. Great job!
God bless:)

Wow! A veery nice and intriguing story penned in a poem. I like its style and the diction here. It is a bit dark,chaotic and mysterious and elegantly penned. Thanks youfor sharing!!

I liked this little story... and the unexpected twist at the end... that he was on the last page of his life.
VERY WELL WRITTEN :)

Haha thank you. -Takes a bow-
I love the story you told with this piece along with that I love the title you chose! I would love for something like for this to happen to me someday, but it would be a mystery. It would be nice to re-read my life story and figure out what went wrong or what all I have achieved. Yet, it'd be scary to re-read the dark parts of my life, to understand where I was left alone and how I had to crawl back out to find more good. This was great! Thank you for this!
