The Letter

Greetings Mister Stevenson,

I trust that this letter finds you in
Spirits that aren’t exactly high
And I can definitely understand why
You might be extremely agitated
Since your girlfriend was accidentally assassinated
It was an honest mistake – two floors above you
There is a Sam Wilson who I know doesn’t love you
That one’s Samuel not Samantha, and he was creating
A new disease that would have been completely devastating
I had to get them both just in case – it was a pre-emptive strike
She can come back alive to your place – but first you must hike
And prove yourself worthy where you’ve heard it is burning
The password for the week is “Halliburton Ernie”
The path starts in the basement of the New York Stock Exchange
You might think that to take that road you’d have to be deranged
But we both know quite well you have no other choice
Don’t forget to bring water and do not lose your voice
Good luck – you will need it
Burn this letter after you read it

Nicholas of Corinth
