Camping by Nicholas

On a boy’s third birthday

His family trekked deep in the trap

That was their yard.

Stalked by a monster

A tent-

Its windows were wicked, watching eyes,

A mechanical blue-gray.

While the timid toddler gathers twigs

For a fire,

Hot dogs are slowly roasting,

Juicy and plump.

Munch.

Viciously devoured with corn and smores.

The warmth lures the monster.

Disguised as a tent.

The family unpacked,

Everything went black.

I think they were devoured by the tent, or maybe the toddler just fell asleep!
