There's No One Home

Summary:

This one is inspired by a lost Flash game video i saw a few years ago on Youtube.

Notes:

English is not my first language.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

The neon lights are flickering,
the music is blasting out loud.
cookies and cokes are served on the table.
But there's no one home.

The sound of laughter can be heard.
Sounds artificial yet so sincere,
scary to think that it's fake.

Invitations said, but none sent.
It's all planned, not even half the fun.
There's no one home.
Still, there's no one home.
Just a person and their will,
returning back to their soul,
untill there's no one home.

Notes:

13th of August 2024

I can't exactly find the video to give my credits. Possibly it's taken down by the creator.

It is about a person who texted their sister that they were having a house party. They told her not to disturb them, which the sister replied with hoping them have a good night. Typical siblings interaction.

Still, the sister pass by their house to check on them. Condition of the house is described on the poem. Not wanying to disturb, she didnt come in.

Next morning, no text recieved. All was left in the house was a souless body, hanging by a rope. Party decorations untouched. No one was invited last night.
