ALARM BELLS.

 I creep into the corridor, set off the fire alarm
Don’t mean to cause fear or harm
Everybody starts running about
“Where’s the fire?” I hear somebody shout
I casually walk back into my room, tug at the case
Time for me to vacate this place

The alarm bells are loud, screaming in my ears
Heart pulsating wildly, I’m crying invisible tears
The sweat is dripping from my brow
I need to leave and leave right now
The corridor light s are absent, they have been disallowed
I weave my way through the worried, frantic crowd
I am so scared, I desperately want to get out
I’m trying not to bump into the people rushing about
I try to not look anyone in the face
Hoping like mad no one will bump into my case
Thank God my room was on the bottom floor
I struggle like mad to get my case out of the hotel exit door
Dragging my case along on its four wheels
People oblivious to what the case conceals
I weave through the crowds,battle to the outside
Need to ditch the body, need to disguise and hide

The suitcase makes a bufferting sound
As I pull it with difficulty along the ground
The weight of the case is making my arm strain
To top it all off it has started to rain
The handle keeps slipping in my hand
I need to keep pulling, no time to wait and stand
I arrive at my car, open the boot
Struggle to offload my ill gained loot
Just as well the hooker was thin and small
Or else I wouldn’t have managed to lift it at all
I’m relieved that no one is watching me
As all the guests are going back into the lobby

I struggle wildly to put the car into first gear
I am sure there is a Forest somewhere around here
I push my foot to the wheel, speed off in a panic
The car lurches forward, wheels spinning manic
In my head are the images of the slashed up whore
The rain now turns into a torrential downpour
Hail hits off my screen like the bullets from a gun
I watch the residue on my window as it starts to run
Lightning strikes, thunder sounds hail hammers down
I am so messed up I can’t help but frown
My wipers move quickly, swinging from left to right
Suddenly I get blinded by a flash of light
Slamming my foot firmly on the brake
An involuntary left move I make
I sit here and blankly stare
Of my currant surroundings I’m not quite aware
When it comes to insanity, I think I’m on the brink
I need to calm down, relax and think

What the fuck am I going to do? What have I done?
Need to get out of this car, need to run
I so have to calm the fuck down
In these feelings of fear and panic I’m starting to drown
The car has crashed into a tree
I count the dents one, two and three
‘Think Paul think, take a moment to digest
Think what you need to do and find the Forrest’
I start to drive off again, start to pull myself together
Curse that whore and this awful weather
