A/N – This is a collection of poems about some of the characters on Day One.

Jack

A game, a challenge

His family in a dream

Reunion and hopeful future

As the midnight hour began

The call from the agency,

A window left unclosed

A worry, tale of two worlds,

For this man, Jack Bauer

Mistakes were made, old wounds opened

Fragile friendships strained,

Hours later, no end in sight,

As he sinks deeper into Hell

Friends became foes, foes became corpses,

And the crazy cycle never relented,

But a sign of hope in the midday,

Loved ones found in illusion of safety

Secrets revealed as the butcher appeared,

Hidden below, unlike the world assumed,

An anniversary of a tragic mistake,

Marked by the crumbling of families

Traitor revealed and then anger released,

Horror at the fallen mask,

As one lay dead, another divorced,

One wept and begged for forgiveness.
