Entering the competition, Comes one you'd not expect, Standing tall in uniform, Spine straight and erect.

A little girl of maybe ten, In pinafore and tights, Big blue eyes and dark brown hair, With auburn-red highlights.

Tiny, little, willowy thing, With flesh as pale as cream, Eerie, something's not quite right, Not everything's as it seems.

And as you look her over, A gentle smile at your lips, A crackle and a buzz, Lights at her fingertips.

Her mouth is open, beaming, Showing rows of little teeth, Needle sharp and demon-pointed, Her lips were just a sheath.

Innocent little ten year old, Flyaway hair and grin, Not so dainty after all, In fact, she's weighed with sin.

From a pocket at her breast, Of that dark grey pinafore, She pulls a metal object, Your stomach drops to the floor.

Little Alice, as she's called, Now holds a shining gun, She cocks her head and smiles a bit, And asks for you to run.

'It's better if you run, you see, It gives me such a time!' The safety's off, the bullet's prepped, She prepares another crime.
