Necropants Sonnet

In lands where shadows whisper tales of old, 
There dwells a craft both eerie and profane, 
A legend, strange and dark, as tales unfold— 
The necropants, a cursed, chilling chain.  

From corpse to cloth, the grisly work begins, 
With skin stripped bare from those no longer near, 
A ghastly garb, its wearer’s power wins, 
To steal the life-force, hold it close and dear.  

But wear it long, and it will twist your soul, 
For greed will seep from every stitched thread, 
A curse upon the heart, it takes its toll, 
Until the wearer’s mind is filled with dread.  

So heed this warning from the world of night:
Some ancient power is not worth the fight.

Conceptual-Artnado

When a reclusive avant-garde artist’s massive outdoor installation—intended to critique consumerism—is struck by lightning, it creates a swirling vortex of conceptual art pieces. The storm grows sentient, flinging giant sculptures, abstract paintings, and pretentious performance artists across the city, forcing everyone to "interpret" its destruction before they’re obliterated. 

As society descends into chaos, the only hope is a cynical art critic and a down-on-his-luck street muralist who must collaborate to decipher the Artnado’s "true meaning." They face off against existential sculptures blocking highways, oversized canvases suffocating skyscrapers, and interpretive dancers… interpretively dancing their way into traffic. In a shocking twist, they realize the storm is powered by the public’s confusion. The more baffled people get, the stronger it becomes. The final showdown? Convincing the world to just shrug and say, *"I don’t get it, but it’s cool."
