So I feel odd saying 'This was great!' because it is so dark. ;) That being said, it was. Congratulations! Nicely written and well deserved. Good luck in the future.

A great last line surprise. Nothing scary about some OCD person obsessing over how his shoes were lined up but when you leave the bodies in them...suddenly!

Nicely done.

Author,
I have ocd as a symptom (not my illness, I am told) and your poem captures this very uncomfortable, even scary phenomenon.
I like your poem best because I can totally identify with it.
Good luck with this one!
Blessings,
Cindy

    I have it too, a very bad case after my dad died, but milder now. I thought I was going crazy at the time I first had it. Thanks so much for reading my poem. :)

Very clever horror story you have penned for the contest! So, is he keeping the shoes as souvenirs? Love your rhyming and build. Great job! Thanks for sharing

The final line here contains a terrible warning on letting OCD go untreated. No doubt the bodies, when available would be equipped with matching bloodstains.

    That goes without saying. OCD out of control? Or a serial killer who just happens to have OCD? who knows. Thanks for reading my poem, it's very appreciated. :)

OH yes! The final line transforms this study of the OCD sufferer to the quite more dramatic and heinous murderer with the add-on characteristic of having OCD. Fun and, of course, horrible.

Your poem is surprising. Readers expect a little story about a sportsperson obsessed with shoes, or an athlete participating in a race, and they are hit in the fate with a twist. A good job :)

I was enjoying this fun little poem . . . and then BOOM! That ending came out of nowhere. The nonchalance with which the character addresses the bodies is very cold and horrifying. Great job! Thanks for sharing.
