Riddle Me Rhymes
Lucas
Lucas unlocked his phone.
Unknown
Tick tock tick tock
Unknown
Said the hands of the clock
Unknown
An hour is too long, 45 is enough
Unknown
Seems like someone's gotta do their job
Lucas paced back and forth in the living room of his flat.
The ticking of the wall clock began to rang louder in his head.
He clutched his phone and was about to throw it to the sofa when it let out a familiar "ping".
Unknown
Uh oh tantrums are about to be thrown
Unknown
Why not sip some chamomile to ease the aggression
Lucas can't take any of the cryptic messages anymore and began to type a reply.
Lucas
Who the f*ck are you?
Lucas
Stop messaging me with rhymes
Lucas
Go f*ck with someone else
Lucas stared at his phone hoping the person won't reply anymore.
Five minutes had passed, there was no familiar ping to be heard.
He placed his phone on the living room table and let put a sigh.
Lucas hesitantly grabbed his phone.
Unknown
300 seconds of peace was a bliss
Lucas scoffed and angrily typed a reply.
Lucas
What the f do you want?
Unknown
7.8 billion strangers in the world
Unknown
And only a handful knew you existed
Lucas
If this is you, I swear I'll kick your *** tomorrow
Lucas
Honestly, these kind of pranks won't land you a girlfriend.
Unknown
My name is far from Baz
Unknown
If you knew my name you should be glad
Lucas
And why should I be?
Unknown
People often think there aren't any connection between them.
Unknown
Yet all strangers share the same thing
Lucas
I don't have time with your games
Unknown
I'll give you a hint
Unknown
Starts with the letter S and ends with a T
Unknown
Both you and I share the same thing
Unknown
But you should worry
Unknown
For it isn't safe with me 😄
Lucas stared at the last message
He wasn't feeling good with any of this
Clearly someone is having the time of his life effing Lucas's mind up.
Lucas
Why the fck should I worry
Unknown
Tick tock tick tock
Unknown
Time is gold, someone's blood will run cold
Unknown
If you keep on pacing back and forth
Lucas's head automatically turned to the open balcony.
He nervously walked and peeked outside of the balcony.
It's past 6 in the evening and the street are still bustling with busy cars and businessmen.
He stared at the building in front of them.
Lucas
Stop texting me or I'll report you to the police
Lucas began to feel nervous, the sender is either good at guessing his actions or the person is living in the building in front of his flat.
Unknown
Like I said, you should be glad if you knew my name
Unknown
I suggest you should get going
Unknown
Poor pizza boy Even is moving
Lucas
Who in the worlds is Even?
Lucas
And who tf do you think you are for ordering me around?
F*ck, was all Lucas can say.
Lucas
Lucas lost count of the curses he said.
He sat on the sofa while looking at his phone and the wall clock
Lucas
How did you know about the place?
Unknown
Connects people from all around the globe
Unknown
Take a sip, slowly, or you'll burn your tongue
Unknown
Or do you mind having it at the back of your lung?
The rhymes are getting on Lucas's nerves but he had no choice but to reply.
Lucas
But do you see me as Sherlock Holmes that can solve your silly games?
Lucas
Because I'm not having any of it, really
Unknown
Tick tock tick tock
Unknown
It's past 6 o'clock
Unknown
A few more minutes
Unknown
Someone's gonna end up in the dump
A number of curses left Lucas's mouth
He began to think of a 6 letter word that apparently connects strangers.
Starts with the letter S and ends with a t
Something clicked in Lucas's mind.
Lucas
The word can't be gossip obviously
Lucas
It's "secret" isn't it?
Unknown
Can you hear the audience applauding?
Unknown
For a nobody, you're quite interesting
Lucas
What do you know about the place?
Unknown
Want to play a game?
Lucas
You answer my questions with questions
Unknown
Want to play a game?
Unknown
For every rhyme there are choices
Unknown
For every choice there will always be consequences
Unknown
To decipher my rhyme is to win
Unknown
To ignore me is to die
Unknown
One is a harmless poison
Unknown
One will lead you to prison
Unknown
Choice is yours, Lucas
Lucas, yet again cursed under his breath.
The whole situation isn't just a prank and one wrong decision can break his life forever.
Lucas gritted his teeth and typed.
Lucas
I'll do what you want
Lucas
After this fcking game
Lucas
Reveal yourself you coward
Unknown
Aww do you badly want to see me?
Unknown
Don't worry, I'll gladly host our little meet and greet
Lucas
Yes, I badly want to punch you
Unknown
Tick tock tick tock
Unknown
Can you hear the sound of the clock?
Unknown
He badly wants to get even
Lucas
Where the fck are the choices?
Lucas stood up and began kicking the sofa.
When he got tired of blaming the sofa, he went out to the balcony.
He lit a cigarette and began to smoke, hoping it would calm his nerves.
The unknown sender didn't reply anymore.
Lucas immediately unlocked his phone.
Disappointment was evident on his face when he saw the text was from his flatmate, Mika.
Mika
I'll arrive home late tonight. Can you order me a pepperoni pizza? I'm staaaaaaarving. Thanks mwa 😘
Lucas stared at Mika's text.
He quickly typed a message to the Anon sender
Lucas
You knew about that place
Lucas
Of course you would know the pizzeria
Lucas
I'm guessing you know Mika and the others too
Unknown
Tick tock tick tock
Unknown
You should hurry up
Unknown
When the hand strikes at 7
Unknown
Say goodbye to lovely Even
Even
lucallemant_
Roses are red, half of a Tylenol is blue
lucallemant_
Don't worry about the fever, I'll take care of you 😉
Even scoffed and typed a reply
Even
Well hello to you too
It has been a week since lucallemant_ last messaged him.
Even stared at his phone annoyed yet happy at the same time.
Even
What's up with the rhymes tho?
When Even didn't get a reply, he threw his phone on the bed and sighed.
He grabbed his laptop and started to work on his reflection paper.
Even rolled his eyes and reached for his phone.
lucallemant_
Indigos are close to violet
lucallemant_
She's right about the ones in the net
Even
You just ghosted me for a week
Even
It's okay if you won't tell me why
Even
But if you're not interested
lucallemant_
The weather is cold lately
lucallemant_
Red beanies suits those who gets a little needy
Even froze a little after reading the text
He saw his reflection on his window.
Even
You know red beanies are kind of in these days
Even
And I don't think the people who wears them are all needy hahaha
Even jokingly replied but something was starting to build up in his chest.
He placed his phone beside his laptop.
Even stared at the illuminating screen, not typing a single word.
lucallemant_
The art of typing
lucallemant_
You got to move your hands and press the keys
lucallemant_
Find the right words and stop reflecting
Even glanced at his laptop.
Even
I like you rhymes and all
Even
But if you want to say something serious
Even
Just say what you want to say
Even
You know straight to the point?
lucallemant_
Do you really like me?
Even blushed the moment he read the text.
He was about to type a response.
lucallemant_
We haven't even met yet
lucallemant_
Still want to catch some feelings and fall to the deeper end?
Even
I haven't seen you personally
Even
nor got to hear your voice
Even
For weeks that we started texting each other
Even
I really enjoyed talking to you
Even
So if you're just gonna ghost me again for a week or more
Even
and pop up again like you've never been gone
Even
Just tell me if you don't want it
Even
So I can finally stop expecting
Even's thumb was centimeters away from tapping the block button after he sent the last text.
Yet in the end he decided to just turn his phone off.
Although a little bit troubled, he continued typing his reflection paper.
It was quarter to 7 when he finished writing his paper.
He decided to turn his phone again.
lucallemant_
A candle has two ends
lucallemant_
Light it from the top
lucallemant_
To the bottom it'll all melt
lucallemant_
Light it from the other end
lucallemant_
It'll melt just the same
lucallemant_
Light it from both ends
lucallemant_
In the middle, will they finally melt?
lucallemant_
We aren't candles
lucallemant_
But do you still want to meet me halfway?
