She was definitely #dead

We made sure of it before throwing her body in the lake

But...I've seen someone, late at night, outside my house

It's too dark to tell for sure, but it looks like her

And this morning, I found muddy footprints right outside my bedroom door

Their #bravery was admirable, but completely foolish

They were not facing a rampaging beast, or an opposing army, but a literal god

A being who had been born during the infancy of time, at a point where mercy was not even an idea yet

It certainly wouldn't show them any

It was easy to hear the wet slurping #sound as the rest of the house was covered in silence

Ignoring his instincts, he crept ever closer towards the noise

The beam of his flashlight found the source, a beast munching on a human leg, and clearly, it wanted another to chew on

After weeks of searching, they found her body, deposited into the #delta of the local river

They thought finding her corpse would provide answers, but it left them with more questions

What kind of creature could have removed all her bones, while leaving her skin intact?

Sadistic sinners in lairs
conspiring humanity's demise,
carrion vultures circle
out of morbid curiosity,
spineless deceptive serpents
revel in the tears of the helpless,
ominous seances calmly
breaching quiet threshold
heralding doom.

With a massive horde of creatures surging towards them, the citizens were understandably confused on how their mayor could be so #calm

In truth, he had made a deal with the beasts for his safety...and his safety alone

Creepy ravens roost
pecking at the potion
brewed with hemlock
an unholy energizer fuels witchcraft,
eerie poltergeists shriek
terrifying the quaking poltroons,
funereal squalls unearth
the forbidden sepulchers
something left behind.

When the #siren rang out no one ran for safety

The beast had taken so much from them: their harvests, their children, their infrastructure

All they had left was their lives, and with no hope for the future, living didn't seem worth doing

It was more than happy to take that too

A mark was etched into himself for each #sin

It was supposed to be a physical reminder of the pain he caused, but it only made him want to do more

As long as the police didn't suspect him of murder, and he had untouched skin left to carve on, he would continue

There is no escape from this #island, and it's not just because of the thing patrolling the waters

It's trying to keep us from spreading whatever is growing inside of us from reaching the mainland

Unfortunately, we are doomed to slowly and painfully become part of this place

#snippet from my #narrative #poem Les Enfants du Bois 😱

The sailors spent the entire night scouring the ship in search of the creature to no avail

It continued to pick them off one by one from seemingly nowhere

By the time they checked the #sail and found its hiding spot, their numbers were too small to stop it
