M u n d a n e


You're sitting in your room; just an ordinary day

Not many things to do and even fewer things to say

You're writing out some scrolls when the power, it goes dead

You go to get a candle but first you bump into your bed.

With the candle burning bright, you're returning to your mirror

Only to find out that now your mask has caught on fire

You jump and flap around, just to put the fire out

But then you knock the candle and its dark again- look out.

You sigh and move to call someone when you fall down the stairs

And when you try stand you knock the shelf of teddy bears

And then you try to pick them up your hand feels something cold

You realize with a shudder that it's master Yoshi's globe

While going to the kitchen to find a cloth or so

You just misjudge the corner and therefore stub your toe

While getting ticked at karma and jumping up and down

You step onto a mousetrap and start cursing like a clown

You finally get to bed avoiding dangers all the way

Though you think that dear old Donnie may have something mean to say

And snuggled down below in the comfy, plushy bed

You finally get a phone call saying dear old Splinter's dead.


Okay, this was for a challenge at stealthy stories. I didn't have time to write a full-on fic, so I thought this would have to do. Challenge by notawordsmith.

And I thought it would be a change to have something like this happen to Leo for once.

What did you think?
