Part One: The Party
Hello, there, little children,
Would you like to come and play?
We'll have lots of fun together
On your very special day.
Here's a bright idea:
We'll all play hide-and-seek!
Now close your eyes and count to ten -
Don't even try to peek!
Let's see if you can find me,
Where I'm hiding, I won't say.
Try to figure it out now,
Before I run away.
You're chasing me down the hallway,
You're good at this, I can tell.
But now the path you tread upon
Will lead you straight to hell.
You're trapped now, little children,
And the party's still going on.
We're here together, all alone,
And nobody knows you're gone.
It's my turn to count to ten now,
As I lean against the door.
With just these walls to keep you in,
The game is now a bore.
My hands wrap tight around your neck,
As your families cut their cakes,
No one will ever hear you scream,
One squeeze is all it takes.
Your eyes go wide with terror,
Oh, how I love that face!
But it doesn't last, and soon I'm left
Alone in this quiet space.
You're gone now, little children,
And I have had my fun.
Now it's time for me to hide
The things that I have done.
Those suits nearby should do the trick,
It won't hurt you a bit.
There's wires and machines inside,
But you're small enough to fit.
I stuff you inside the costumes,
It's easier than I thought.
Time for me to go back to work,
Before I'm ever caught.
Outside in the party rooms,
Panic fills the air.
They've noticed that you're missing,
The ones for whom they care.
They're scared now, little children,
And your parents will all cry when
They play a game of hide-and-seek,
But never find you again.
