Victuals On The Run

I took a peak during prayer and what did I see?

Turkey dancing round with yams and spuds

Green beans prancing with the back door key

Biscuits led the way to escape through gravy floods

Fast out the door and on the run 

All before the blessing had been done

Together, we can break the world record for longest book. When this challenge gets the necessary number of entries, it will expire and we will turn it into a book. Each entry will be its own chapter. Feel free to build from existing entries or write something radically different.

Day One

I had to kill my neighbor today.  I guess I am not alone in that, not today.  What makes it so hard is that he was trying to help my family to escape.  I had just gotten everyone in the car and he was holding off some dead heads so we could get past the gate of our complex.  Suddenly he was overcome and one had bitten him.  He quickly cut off its head, turned to me and the look in his eyes told me what I had to do.  I had never shot a gun before but my aim was good.

Morning Prayer

I sometimes secretly resent being the caretaker

I do not want to solve the issues

I do not want to be the money maker

I do not want to give out tissues

I do not want to be the mother

I do not want to drive to work

I want to stay here undercover

I know I sound like such a jerk

But sometimes, sometimes I want to run

Away, away straight to the sun and stars

This world makes living not so fun

There's lots of pain and lots of scars

Help me God to live for them:  Amen

Describe a red rose, covered in dew, with its petals barely bloomed in the morning sun... But do not use the words: red, rose, dew, petals, bloom, morning, or sun. :)

Scarlet Queen

She is arising from her carriage dressed in all her finery of crimson and emerald. A sudden rain dampens her gown but she fears not for her knight in golden armor will keep her warm.
