Now I have heard about days from hell everyone one has one they love to tell
Mine will make your hair on your back stand up straight it’s strange and scary right from devil’s gate
I just moved in to this small desert town population under a 100 and nothing else for miles around
There was only one road in and one road out nothing grew no trees no grass no cactus nothing at all that I could see as I walked about
I was here because my doctor said I need to get some rest I had very high blood pressure but if I didn't bring it down my doctor said my heart was going to explode in my chest
So I took six months off from work and rented this broken down shack on the outskirts of Nowhere the perfect place for me to rest to keep me from having a heart attack
I only brought a few clothes since the place was said it was furnished and ready to make a deal. So I got a great price for 6 months it was a steal,
I haven't seen one living creature since I’ve walked through the door but when I woke up this morning there was a dead rat on the floor
I was taken back now I’m from the city and I’ve seen rats but this was the biggest I’ve seen it was as large as a house cat
Now I looked at the rat then turned it over omg it was
Shot I hope this isn’t a sign of a hostel takeover
Someone wants me to leave all they have to do is ask I can find another place I can grab my clothes throw them in the car and grab my mask
I don't want no trouble I need to rest and then I had to sit down my heart was hurting in my chest
A doctor says I can't take the strain I've had four bypasses now and that's a lot of pain
I surely didn't have much choice but I needed my rest but I called the landlord he said it he was busy but he would make some time to change the lock I said thank you but I think he thought I was a pest
Now Nowhere was a 2-hour drive to the nearest city and if you ask my opinion they need to get out more what a pity
It was getting lunch time and there was only one store when I got there it was a note hanging on the door
It said by city ordinance 1515 this establishment is closed until further notice it was dated a week ago I was getting upset my blood pressure was rising I look a tomato
I started to feel dizzy my blood sugar was low but if that doesn’t beat all I just looked up a sec to late bang I was hit in the head with a baseball
It knocked me out and I landed in the dirt when I came to there was this really cute filly in some short shorts and a blue shirt
I asked are you an angel and am I dead and is this heaven a boy appeared in my sight and said sis he’s still deranged he thinks you're an angel he then turned his head and said no sir this is a Kate and my name is Kevin
Sorry sir but Hank Aaron over there smacked the ball so hard it landed on your head we are your neighbors down the street you look a little white maybe you should go home and lay down in your bed
Sounds like a nice thing to do can you help me up I asked thank you and I began to walk across the street I heard someone yell and I looked up and there was this truck coming at me so fast the only thing I remember wad that it was blue
I woke up a few hours later in my bed the landlord was still there he said he changed the locks he also filled to refrigerate up with food he forgot to tell me the store was closed and he gave me a brand-new clock
As he left, I did notice he was driving a blue truck about an hour later I got really sick and I threw up this green muck
What got me more sick was that inside this muck was roaches crawling and they were still moving that's it I had enough I packed up my clothes I was leaving
No I wasn’t I tried to start the car and the battery was dead 2 hours from the nearest store I began to cry and shake my head
I must have dozed off in my car when I woke I looked through the window just for a few seconds I thought I saw you this wicked green witch with a long ugly nose I yelled let me go
I started to count to 10 then I closed my eyes and to my uterly surprise there was Kate in front of me and I began to cry
I told her what happening and then she helped me through the front door when we got inside the shack, I notice there was no muck on the floor
Was I losing my mind or was I just losing touch with reality I do know this if I can't settle down I'm going to be a fatality
I asked Kate what happened to the last people that used to live in this house oh there was a husband and wife they lived here for a while then he killed himself after he killed his spouse
I said wow really you got to be kidding me no I’m not and before that an old man hung himself on that rafter, he used the old hang man’s knot
A group of bikers and vagabonds some people would call them outcasts used own this house in years past
After the last incident I thought this house would remain empty for a long time but by God’s grace I was surprise when George told me he found a person rent this place
I asked Kate if she smoked and then handed her cigarette from my case The first thing in the morning when I get a new battery, I'm going to ta take off like a rocket blasting off into space
So, I walked her out and then suddenly I felt cold and I had the shakes then I open the door and stepped on several rattlesnakes
I was bit three times before they slithered away, I yelled and fell to the ground I thought this was going to die today
But not my luck I woke up again laying in my bed I was surprised I didn't think I had any more lives left to spare but this time there was an old funny gentleman sitting in my chair
He looked like a dwarf had long white hair wore a white coat you're one lucky dude I was about ready to go but I was having trouble hooking up my boat
I had the only serum around you would have been dead before they got any from town
Now you need to rest you got to let that serum do its work I'll be back in a few days if you have any complications just get a hold of my clerk
He's got the number to get ahold of me if I am needed here now look in the refrigerator you got plenty of food but I saw but no alcohol the drink that beer
In fact, I'm taking it with me so you don't get tempted call at my house fee
I laughed and thanked him and said goodbye he then turned to me and said try not to die
I went back inside lock the door and tried to clear my mind I was hungry so I went to see what I could find
I located some rice cereal and milk I found myself a bowl it was strange looking one of a kind
I was halfway through eating my cereal when I noticed something strange, I looked closely and saw the bowl was filled with maggots I threw it at the wall and the room started to change
Was I going insane as a room began to spin I started getting dizzy and fell to the floor and thought there's no way to win
I opened my eyes and I wanted to scream but there was a gag in my mouth and I thought this all had to be a dream
I was tied to the bed that was cover in blood it was dripping down to the floor and one of the rats were eating my leg down to the core
I don't know how much more I could have taken I was in so much pain that I didn’t even the front door
I opened my eyes and they're sitting in front of me was that old green witch with that long nose I must be insane but to my surprise she got rid of the rats and untied me and said her name was Mary Jane
I tied my leg up it was in very bad shape but it is now time for this house to learn that if you're going to play with fire, you're going to get burned
I grabbed the gas tank out of the trunk of my car then poured the gas all over the house and it went up in blaze it was like a big bonfire that could be seen from afar
I got in the Buick and put in the key to my surprise it started on the first try I can gladly say as I left nowhere that the house on Sparrow Lane had to die
