The hunter

Tony36

 

 

He rode into town

Harley roaring as he arrived

Black leather jacket

Dark Shades

The chrome of his bike

Sparkled in the sunshine

A cloud of dust

Rising in his wake

 

He came looking for someone

Did not find who he sought

He did see the remains

Of the damaged they'd brought

Buildings in piles of rubble

Fire burning here and there

Everyone was in hiding

Everyone was scared

 

He hopped on his bike

Headed on e road

To see what the future would behold

 

A mile out of town

He had some luck

That is when he saw

That ugly ass truck

 

Parked at a cabin

Just off the road

This was what he was looking for

He got off his bike

Reached in an inner pocket of his jacket

Pulled out a gun

Held it with both hands

As silently he'd run

Tree to tree

Bush to bush

 

He gets to the window

He rises to look in

No one in the front room

He starts to grin

He slide to the door

Finds it unlocked

Waits a moment

Than gives it a knock

 

He knocks with his foot

Busting it in

This kind of action

Gave him a wider grin

He slowly searches the house

Room by room

Finding no one

Sincing doom

 

He finds the basement door open

He flips on a light

Still silince below

He starts down the flight

 

At the bottom of the stairs

He sees two people in chairs

Bound and gadded and knocked out

He goes over to untie them

That is when he heard

The one he came for

start to stir

 

Out of the shadows

Into the light

The monster himself

Sprang into life

Holding a gun

He fired twice

Just warning shots at the wall

To say he's done playing nice

 

He stood up

Leaving the two people tied

A showdown was to happen

He held his gun straight

Looked the monster in the eyes

Fired two shots

Now the beast lies

In a pool of blood

For everyone there to see

The evil was over

 

He untied the victims

Made sure they were ok

Told them what had happened

Then told them it was time to run way

 

They left the house

Upon the day

Setting it on fire

Letting the evil be consumed by the blaze

He gave them a ride back to town

On the Harley they rode

 

Back into town

Reunited with family and friends

After he drops them off

He leaves town once again

 

He is a hunter

He hunts the unjust

He fights for what's right

He goes where he must
