Sense Sonnet - Chiller

Family Tie

At the time it all seemed okay,
My growing up in Wichita.
Mom and Dad were strict in the way
They raised me, and laid down the law.
Church stuff kept Dad away a lot.
Mom was more fun when Dad was gone.
During the '70s, we got
A bunch of murders off and on.
The killings continued for years.
BTK (bind, torture and kill),
Was the killer's tag. But my fears
Came when he was caught - a spine chill.

The connection I'll never rid.
I'm the BTK killer's kid.
