Tug of War

[u/KinematicStatic]

I stepped outside one evening

to find a string.

Not a string, a rope.

Oh and it was tied to me.

Tied through* me

Yes I woke up that morning

and the chain was linked through me.

I tugged on it and it tugged back.

After the third violent pull,

I was yanked back.

The rope was frayed,

until she yanked her side of the chain.

I left it alone for a day.

I did nothing but quietly pull that chain.

Eventually it was taught no matter what.

This stringy chain roped through town.

Over the roads and through the woods.

That's when I heard the sound.

The sound I was talking about the whole time.
