the top of the stairs

he felt the same deep thrill of excitement that he had felt on that distant november day he stopped at the top of the stairs what’s going on out there? to him she was still a woman this was something that couldn’t go on he waited at the top of the stairs “if i turn around and go back, no one will ever know” the hunters would be coming soon enough i wasn’t even there but i felt the same deep thrill of excitement but i wished i was there to him she was still a woman even though she was not at the top of the stairs eternal mysterious woman letting the futility and the sorrow wash over her although she wasn’t even there my mind was dwelling on girls so there wouldn’t be any mistakes he was as cold and mean as they come to the little guys who were caught in the net no, there wouldn’t be any mistakes a man does not rise to the occasion the hunters would be coming soon enough the futility and the sorrow were washed away in the rain who’s sorry now? we all make mistakes sources: the tenement kid, by karl edd; this kill is mine, by dean evans; say it with bullets, by richard powell; mistress of horror house, by william woody; drink with the dead, by j m flynn; run from the hunter, by keith grantland; operation - murder, by lionel white; the teachers, by jerry weil; man divided, by dean douglas; cry at dusk, by lester dent; about doctor ferrel, by day keene; search for surrender, by borden deal; woman soldier, by arnold rodin
