Mark’s life flashed
In front of his
Brown almond shaped eyes and
He had nothing to show for it
His whole life was
All a scam
2
He went from
One shit-town to
Another, riding the
Coattails of some poor soul
Who thought they were
Mr. Lucky
3
The he got
Caught up with Ghouls
Offering his essence
To get him out of a
Mess in Texas
He was scammed
4
Mark didn’t know
That his mama
Would sell her soul for him
So he became a slave
In exchange for
His mom’s soul
5
But Mark didn’t
Play by the rules
And that’s what got him in
The middle of a brawl
With demons, ghouls,
And a queen

Luz picked up
The gun Mark dropped
Aimed it at the demon
Sinking it’s fangs into
Mark’s arm and pulle
The trigger
7
Covered in
Ashes Mark fell
And groaned; the monsters were
Dead, the bar was empty,
And Luz was pissed
Royally
8
“Don’t kill me,”
Mark pleaded, his
Back on the floor; Luz sighed
“You set me up,” she said.
“It was all part
Of my plan.”
9
Mark flinched as
Luz extended
Her hand, pulling him up
“Hell’s not gonna be pleased,”
She said, a grin
On her face
10
“They’ve never
Been fans of me,”
Mark replied; Luz smiled
“You got a place to stay,”
She asked, Mark shook
His head, no

Luz showed Mark
Around the church
He noticed the broken
Benches and chipped statues
“You fight a lot huh?”
He remarked.
12
Luz rolled her
Eyes and said, “You
Can stay here.” She showed him
A small room with a bed
Behind the stage
Cozy room
13
“Thank you,” Mark
Said and hugged Luz.
“You should rest now,” Luz said.
“You should leave here,” Mark said,
“They’ll never
Stop chasing you.”
