I want to go where the sky is dark
And turn my face from the heavens
And read a book by starlight.
I hate poetry.
That last line isn't part of the poem.
This line isn't either.
The last THREE lines are not part of the poem.
I mean the last four lines.
Forget it.

Charlotte looked at her reflection. Blood leaked from multiple wounds, her dress was torn to shreds, and her left eye was a gory ruin. She smiled. Sweet success.

Cadbury Cadsworth chuckled as he read yet another story of the London Butcher, the mysterious serial killer that terrorized the city.

Cadsworth took satisfaction in the thought that the clueless authorities would never apprehend him as he ventured on his killing sprees at leisure. He began his path by eliminating his parents. He killed Dad to inherit the Cadsworth estate and he killed Mum for naming him Cadbury.
