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

With the commotion of the #hurricane, no one even thought something could enter in tandem alongside it

After the storm died down, they still remained in the water, and with so much damage taking all focus, they could easily hunt

He didn't see any harm with giving them #harbour

In twenty years of doing it, they had never been a problem

Then those damn teenagers had to mess with them

The following massacre was all their fault

Why couldn't they leave the mutants alone?

The #mountain emerged from nowhere

It was a major attraction, drawing thousands out of curiosity

At least, that's what they told themselves

In truth, it called to them and they answered

Once enough had gathered, it disappeared, taking them with it

Gargoyle skin prickles
with the tickle of stole's ribbon;
but he will not move to eat the priest
remains as stone - staring east
centuries now, no need for feast;
his last meal was a gibbon.

they remove their masks
#clouds part to reveal blue sky
all the people #gasp

glass eyes can't see #what scalds lungs
silent toxins speak #volumes

It looked just like an ordinary #cloud

With appendages that moved with incredible speed

By the time someone realized what it was and alerted others, seven people had already been snatched up

There would be many more to follow
