...care of it.

The aspen heart lands the instant the first drop of blood hits the floor.

According to the advertisement, this new medicine was similar to a cure-all tonic from the 1940s. However, it was discontinued due to negative side effects. These reactions to the cough syrup were far worse than just a rash or upset stomach.

it was not the other side.
it was here, with us:
contact made without touch,
knowing sewn beneath our skin.
ours to carry forward
yet foreign all the same

He was emotionally isolated like a deserted island. Yet he craved human contact. Not for support or love but for their blood. He dreamed of being a real-life vampire. Draining his prey's blood, he'd congeal it to the viscosity of cough_syrup for his dinner. #horrorprompt #vss365

"What's in this #cough_syrup?"

"Something to help you rest, dear. It'll make you a little sleepy, but that's how you know it's working. You'll wake up a brand new person."

He closed his eyes, feeling his chest lighter, his breaths shallower.

...awe.

With my exhale, tension's dam breaks. The tempest is not vindictive. Yet, I'm not grieving the life eradicated from this town.

He knew that he would be walking into the tempest. However, there was nowhere else for him to go. This time when he arrived home. He wasn't ready for the carnage that waited for him.

#tempest

Out of a tempest and off. The world is still spinning, and you have to navigate the coast that way.
That's how you find the island that at low tide isn't one.
A state of the art road flows to the walled city. Someone sees you with your boat on your back and screams.

The eerie green clouds of the tempest slowly dissipated, revealing a ship sailing toward the harbor. The sails were tattered, the main mast toppled. People stood on the pier, gazing for signs of life. The ship's sailors showed themselves as zombies & hungry. #horrorprompt #vss365

The ship tossed and turned on the waves. The captain gripped the wheel with white knuckles. This #tempest was unnatural, the crew all knew it, and they all prayed to whatever Deity for safety. They sailed into the unknown, never to return.

When he made contact with his usual seller, he didn't expect them to bring him a live specimen; what was he supposed to do with a living, breathing human being?

#contact

"The first #contact through the portal wasn't a very good one. The demons considered it an invasion and fought against the mortals. Thus began the Millennium War."

The students sighed in boredom. Almost all of them traced their bloodline to that time. They'd heard this before.

#horrorprompt

The ceatures swirled about him like a blood thirsty hurricane. Their fangs glistened, shiny red in the bright white moonlight. How many of them there were he had no idea? He was frozen with fear. They nipped & licked with each contact of his torn flesh. #horrorprompt #vss365

A message from the graveyard cabaret:

Thirteen feet of garden hose pulled her away as the hurricane broke loose.

He had a bad feeling when his friends decided to bring out the spirit board because he hadn't told them that the house was haunted; good thing he had the priest on speed dial.
