Many thanks to our fairy blog-mother Rochelle for hosting this Challenge.
String On Road
Three boys on abandoned streets, under sun,
Deserted streets, nothing on sight, just a string on road, a string alone.
“Must be the string of fate.” Said one,
“Nay, isn’t red.” Said another one,
“Might be a shoelace.” said another one,
They kept up their pace, and soon they were gone
In the deepest, darkest parts of streets— run,
They wanted to. But as they spun,
A dark shadow blocked them. Then begun
A futile fight. The shadow won.
A trace was left by the previous victim who never returned,
Stringed together by a string on road, a string alone.
Thank you for reading,
Warmest regards,
Dragon Warrior
Den of Dreams 
Full of melancholy atmosphere

Dear Dragon Dreams,
A perilous string of events. Nicely roped in. 😉 And nice drawing.
Shalom,
Rochelle
