Peace in Hiding: A poem of fear

by Stevethesuperotaku

There is a mission in the new MGS game for PSP one that is quite disturbing to some. But the superotaku explores that mission. The 67th mission isn't one of love it's one of fear, for these are the thoughts of one girl one who is very afraid of Snake.

Peace in Hiding

For spawnspectre

Author's note: This poem is quite different from my love poems; this is meant to be sort of inner monologue of someone. If you need more research Google "Metal Gear Peace Walker Video Walkthrough: Date with Paz (Ex Ops 67)" and watch the video particularly the way to fail the mission.

I am alone

The sounds of my breathing

Are no comfort

I am afraid

Of the man

They call him

A name

My fear makes me

Forget

It is the name of a reptile

That's all I know

He tried to take me

I resisted

He chased me

I ran as far as I could

To this place

Decrepit

A house

Off the beaten path

I hide

The musty loneliness

Is not of any use

I hear creaking

Boards releasing their yawns

From a slumber untold

My heart races

I can hear him roam

I can hear him call

Call for me

I wait

I pray

For him

Not to look upstairs

To the room with the old mattress

I hear footsteps

Creaking steps

The sun is gone

Slivers of moonlight

Peek from window

I can see them

Under the door

I hear a sound

The click of a door knob

He's here

I hear him again

I hear his boots

Hammer the floor

I see a shadow

Where I hide

The knob rattles

I stifle a scream

He looks in

Found you

He says with a smirk

Now I scream

He picks me up

I go numb

I don't fight

I lost

I am the prize

The predator has won
