The boy stood silent

He didn't think himself to be a xenophobe. But he was disgusted by people of other cultures. They were nothing but a mèlange of colors, odd odors & customs. He waited at the immigration office for a chance to eliminate a few, but he was bitten by a rabid dog. #horrorprompt #vss365

Brody wished that he hadn't heard that wail. For if he knew who it was going to affect, he would have done something to help his best friend. Now all he could do was stay by their side just in case the piercing wail returned.

They heard a scream across the moors. She jumped at the mournful cry, full of agony.

"Did you hear that?!"

He paled. "Yeah. 'Tis the #banshee. They say those who hear it will die."

"You don't really believe that, do you?"

He sighed. "That's what the tales say. If it's true..."

Ever since you happened to be holding up a bottle up that let you add the banshee's song to the melange of your music, she no longer wails. You sampled the howl, put it on an EDM track.
But then one night, she heard her voice amplified at that music festival; & she wailed back.

forgotten things lie
broken on the floor like glass

verdigris

I taste your anger in my mouth,
heavy and metallic,
the copper remains of what once was
my sharp tongue.

I would scorn you,
but I'm drawn to the flames of your fury.

When Kia was younger, she remembered this oval mirror in a bedroom of her aunt's house. It had a darkened surface with a silver trim. Tucked away in an empty bedroom where no one was allowed to gaze into it. What was it that her aunt saw in her mirror?

he sees
her eyes in the mirror
staring back at him
her eyes in
the water in the sink
her eyes reflected
in the pond
he dreams of the day
sleepwalking in silence
he dreams
calling her name
for centuries

When they arrived at the small island where Koto would be staying for the next few months. He saw a few uniquely colored seagulls perched on top of the lighthouse. Pure ebony feathers trimmed in white, and their eyes bright crimson.

Staring at the wooden door inside the hidden cove, he rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't dreaming. There was a thin green layer on the surface. This place, only found at low tide, was rumored to lead to Blackbeard’s treasure.

"Why are you so scared of #seagulls? They won't hurt you!"

"Ever seen one of the divebomb you?! They're terrifying!"

She looked to the one perched on the pier. It stared back at her with malevolent golden eyes. It made her shiver, as if it was looking into her very soul.

“When you purchase my VR film, you get a full stream of senses. Place the pods on your ears, close your eyes. See the seagulls through the moonglade?”
“So visceral. What're they eating?”
“My last project. A family. You’re next.”
