Basement at work: Is my boss in the mob?

by WISHBONE - Virgo

down the stairs
and around the corner
woven webs are scattered 
along the old 1800 walls, 
two heaps of dirt are piled
ceiling high 
supposively from when they used to be
dirt floors, 
directly in the center
lies an old wooden table
with two chairs 
with broken legs
thats where they played poker,
and I can just imagine them 
pulling out their briefcases
full of bills,
sitting around 
smoking expensive cigars
where the lighting system consists
of one light
where you can barely see
each others faces

you can hear the water
dripping
dripping ever so slowly
you can hear the creaking
from movement upstairs
and I'm scared
cause we're not suppose to be down here
So you tell me
Is there dead bodies burried
in those piles of dirt?
 
 

Reason for writing:

    The basement at work is so freaky. I work at an italian pizza restaraunt. Probably about 10-20 yrs ago
there was an investigation and many arrests occured as a result
of a mob here in small town Appalachin NY. Rumor has it that the same mob thing that happened yrs ago is still happening in our town. Recently a millionares wife came up missing and they believe he hired someone to kill his wife but they have no proof. Well we snuck down in the basement and maybe I'm jumping to conclusions but the first thing that popped in my head was that she might be in that pile of dirt along with many others. These two piles are huge where you could prolly fit a couple hundred bodies and no one would know. The scariest part is that my bosses are lebonese and theres two people that work there that are immagrants. All nice people but just strange.  Sorry to drag on  just using my imagination. Ohhh also they really do carry briefcases caked full of money, and they shine their shoes for real lol
