2024 Writers Halloween Contest

A Halloween for everyone

Entry #1

Click-Click of Death

The warnings were there

As soft as a breath

But just as alive

The click-click of Death


The clicks came and went

Like a headlight's shine

That crawls on the wall

And shivers the spine


Moments of silence

Delusions of hope

Then click-click returns

The damn interlope


My masterful work

Was nearing its end

Computer, be strong

And, please, be my friend


Please, Fate, protect

The words of my toil

The lives in my book

That click-click could spoil


But Fate only laughed

Its soul was that sick

My PC was fried

Before that last click
