Everyone Pays the Price

Dark Acrostic 2

By Paul StewartPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Testing your tolerance for pain and discomfort

our punisher will work their dark magic on you

racks and racks of implements of all shapes and sizes

there is something for everyone

useless it is to bargain, plead or argue

reap what you sow, reap what you sow

everyone pays the price...eventually.

Another happy and light-hearted one haha! Nah, another dark acrostic.

    “there is something for everyone useless it is to bargain, plead or argue” Love this bit. Makes the hairs stand up. Gives a glimpse into the torturer’s mind. I do hope you’re in a good place writing these, Paul. Lol! Beware the darkness! But I am enjoying this series. 😁
