LIGHT THE WAY

whitechapelwitch:

Light the candles.

Follow me through

the empty corridors.

Past dark rooms.

Down a long flight of stairs.

To the dungeons below.

Where shadows await us.

Waiting for company.

To wile away their empty hours.

Perhaps a game or two for us to play.

A game to lighten their boredom.

A pool of water appears before us.

Cages descend from above.

Their pointy edges facing us.

Circular saws soon follow.

What kind of hell are we in?

What kind of game are we playing?

Come closer to find out.

The Dead love to play.

BECKONING

Colors of life.

Colors of nature.

Bright and fresh.

Soothing and serene.

Beckoning you to take

a stroll through the flowers.

Inhale the sweet fragrance.

Time to enjoy life.

To appreciate nature

and all it has to offer.

PERSISTENCE

Nature persists.

It soldiers on.

It rears its head

in the most unlikely places.

No matter the obstacles

we put around it

or on it.

It thrives.

It flourishes.

Despite us.

TRICKS OF THE NIGHT

sikmsonikhayaller:

¥

Night stretches long and silent.

The wind is blowing outside.

Can’t sleep.

Can’t close my eyes.

My eyes can’t stop watching

the dark shadows on the walls.

Shadows that move and sway

with the growing wind.

What is making these shadows?

What is outside my window?

I peek out and see flying branches

and leaves that

take on eerie shapes.

Some resemble bats, while others

take on the form of birds.

One minute they’re here, and the next,

they’re gone.

Should I be afraid?

Should I hide in my room?

Or should I venture outside

to check out the strange shadows?

Maybe I’ll close my eyes and try

to fall asleep.

My imagination could have been working over-time.

But wait! A dark figure is at my window, trying

to get inside. Is it human? It has no face.

Only a shadow in the wind.

So many shadows in the wind.

THE DEAD GAME — DAY 169

Linda had been hanging over a tank of alligators, suspended by a poisonous snake. How much worse could things get for the residents of Oasis? Were they finally safe? Were The Dead gone from town?  

      Linda was snatched from the body of the large snake by Reece, who had flown up to her. He brought her down into Todd’s waiting arms.

     “I hope all the evil in town has been eliminated. Am I correct this time?” Todd asked the elders.

     You haven’t been correct once so far. Mike shook his head.

      Reece said, “I believe all the evil has been taken care of. You can all go home.”

     “Where was Hayden during all this?” Sam asked.

     “We sent him to Europe to take care of a few matters for us. We knew that either you or Sam would resolve this situation,” Reece said, walking over to shake Todd’s hand.

     “How did you know that one of us would be stepping in to save everyone? I was waiting for Hayden. I was trying to buy us some time,” Todd said.

      You were just lucky this time. If you had really tried, then things wouldn’t have worked out so well.

     “I knew that one of you would be successful, since you both have untapped powers that need to be further developed,” Reece said.

      “What type of powers?” Mike asked.

      “That’s for another day,” Reece said. He then disappeared with Leanne and Diane right behind him.

     Mike looked over at Todd and Sam, trying to figure out what these untapped powers could be.

I WILL

I will grow.

I will reach the stars.

I don’t care about the graves

or the mausoleums.

I don’t care that

The Dead

walk the night.

I will grow leaves.

I will stay here.

I will stay alive.

THE ABYSS

babblzoom:

Falling.

Deeper.

And deeper.

Into the abyss.

No lights.

No sounds.

Only strange creatures.

Reaching for me.

Mouths wide open.

In silent cries.

For help?

Or for death.

Can’t grab onto the walls.

Too slippery.

No one to help me.

Hell is getting closer.

Is there an end?

Is there a bottom?

Will I be falling forever?

Down, down…

WHAT’S NEXT?

Life can be lonely.

Life can be sad.

Why reinforce it?

Why stand alone?

No smiling.

No talking.

What’s next?

No breathing?

PARTY WITH THE DEAD

Follow me to the clearing.

Where the trees part in fear.

For The Dead come to play.

And the La Santa Muerte

comes to rule.

She will rule with an iron hand,

and reward her followers.

Come and bring your sacrifices.

And your wishes will come true.

You will reap her rewards of

revenge and murder.

For the female Grim Reaper

is all-powerful,

all-knowing.

The taste of blood

can be so sweet.

Come and join us.

SAY A PRAYER FOR ME

Casualty of war.

Casualty of nature.

Sad.

Alone.

Drifting.

In pieces.

No more music.

Silence forever.

Say a prayer for me.
