Sense Sonnet - Chiller

Bloody Mary

The Bloody Mary story goes
That she was a murdering witch.
While burning in the fiery glows,
She screamed to the crowd a curse, which
Said that any who called her name
Three times out loud before a mirror
Would feel the hellish wrath that came
To put to death from grotesque fear.
I dared my sister, if she would
Have the nerve to test this old curse..
She said that in all liklihood,
Goaders like me just made it worse.

My sister died later that night.
Her face was twisted in pure fright.
