In the dismal interiors of time and space.
A greedy character waits to offer a mind-boggling embrace.His frozen fingers leave a chill to the empty place left behind.
In the darkness a blackhole is left to unwind.The traveler is lost: no place can he readily find a safe nest.
Its evil continually leeches, drawing out those at rest.Victims are cast through the empty void at his wish.
They are helpless, the bodies flop, a struggling fish.His steeled eyes leave an empty chair.
Suddenly the chattere is left with the oddity of beware.Brutal incisors rip the canvas from the safest seat.
Any room isn't safe; the boot-mobster waits to greet.It eyes the most fragile one claws are readied.
And another innocent conversationalist is unthreaded.Will his choice be me or you?
Only the crafty boot-mobster can readily answer true!
