Mid-Episode Address I

by Sebastian Michaels

Chapter 1

And, watcher, just like so,
we’ve reached the middle of the episode.
Of broken tapes and shifting lines
Where stars descend to paint the pines.

You’ve seen the cards that were dealt,
and the destinies not yet felt;
You’ve seen the desk clerk leave his keys
To run from ghosts he swears he sees.

But as the tape keeps spinning,
tragedy is barely the beginning.
From where a person leaves a trace,
stars must judge the space.

To seek a girl who left no choice,
and has static screaming through her voice.
So do not let your focus drift;
we’re about to enter the later shift.

I am your host,
Sebastian Michaels,
and now we continue
Bizarre Tales.
