⚰️ Dracula Rat from the Dark Side 🪦🦇

Dracula Rat from the Dark Side

Looming sphere of rust and hazard, the Death Star of tunnels, ready to strike.

The Great Gnu whispers “dum-dum,” shadows crawling along the walls.

🅱️ Bo Skywalker leads his wingmen, oxygen check, setting charges swiftly with surgical precision, clearing the way, guiding the fleet of starships through tunnels crawling with flies and writhing worms.

Acrid whispers drift through the air, a scent of decay, surreal and leery.

The tunnels shiver, pipes groan under pressure, walls beginning to fall.

With a flash of light, his saber strikes true — Dracula Rat falls.

Head severed.

The fortress quivers, its core rupturing, pipes and tunnels exploding.

Wingmen leap free, fleet scattering through narrow shafts.

The Death Star lair detonates behind them, flames licking the tunnels, shadows dancing on the walls.

Bo glances back, the Great Gnu disappearing in a swirl of dust, whispering “dum-dum.”

Light returns to Ra-Ra-Ratatron’s skies, the acrid scent fading into mist.

Tunnels lie silent, skies holding their breath.

Stars glint in distant arcs, a quiet reminder of battles past.

What was lost is finally found, the dark side of tunnels vanquished.

Halloween drifts in the air, shadows and light weaving through memory.

Bo and his wingmen vanish into legend, the Death Star lair a smoldering memory.

Ra-Ra-Ratatron rests, its echoes telling tales of bravery, cunning, and the night when Dracula Rat from the dark side fell.

Born Blessed in South Korea in 1969 and raised in Baltimore, I’ve built a career with 20 years in customer service and 10 years in behavioral health. The crowning jewel of my studies came when I earned the only passing grade of an A from a Harvard professor — a true master of the craft of Shakespeare

And the English language, whose guidance opened the gateway to worlds of imagination, discipline, and wonder.

Married for 25 years, I share the good life with two dogs (Isabella and Juliet) and one cat named Maddie. In my free time, I enjoy writing, biking, gospel music, and spending time with my pastor and friends.
