Her starving cats fought

The big one ate from her corpse

The little one, the crib

This is the haiku adaptation of a two sentence horror I wrote a while back :)

    Okay my mind was blown by this one. So much so I read it a few more times. I can’t get over the last line. The wind is angry outside my window at the moment and that made this all the more chilling. Thank goodness the hubby isn't sleepy yet so I am not totally alone. I also got scratched by a cat some months ago, I promise I did nothing, I was innocent. So reading this was terrifying especially for me ♥️🤗
