After So Long

I’ll carve my way through the treesNot prepared to just leaveBuilt my home upon these shoresWhy I won’t give up the cause Washed my hands and now they’re cleanIf you want peace then do it away from me I’ll chop down the rot withinIgnore the hate givenStand firm against the stormWait until its passed onContinue reading “After So Long”

The New Old Nightmare

Bump in the night might give you a frightSee if you can make it out aliveSpectre walks down the shattered rowPray to some God you don’t even know Run for cover and hope to surviveIt’ll be worse when they arriveGhouls that feast on still living skinThis life of yours may soon be ending Dip, duckContinue reading “The New Old Nightmare”

Paramin

Here we have a horror story. It was fun doing something different. Don’t think it’ll be a regular thing though. Not the sort of thing that comes into my head very often. Sci-Fi horror maybe, but just horror not so much. Anyway, this is a shorter one again at about 9,000 words. Hope you enjoyContinue reading “Paramin”

Inflicted

I did my time and now I’m doneI want all of those days to be goneOnly pain came from that point in timeIt was like I could never feel fineThe torment kept looping throughIt had become all I could doEven as I screamed at the top of my lungsWhile slipping right off these rungsBut theContinue reading “Inflicted”

Wasting Away

Useless sack of jellyStaring at the tellyDon’t have a clueWho’s the real youForgotten all the factsLets get straight to thatImage in your brainNothing left to drainBut you want to riseCollecting every prizeStand atop the pileWearing a daft smileWhile you grow real fatSimilar to a catNot the kind you petInstead the ones who betSo why notContinue reading “Wasting Away”

…Of The Land

Soothing even the common beastThe one that bares its teethReady for its strikeEviscerate whats rightBefore the howl of doomStreaking toward the full moonNot a cloud in the skyThis is the beasts clarion cryThen comes the attackSwift and filled with blackFangs of crooked greyNo longer white you’d sayWhile the eyes do glowAn emerald light of showClappingContinue reading “…Of The Land”

Trollied

Line and spaceLet’s bring the chaseWhat’s the point if we don’t have a case? Mumbling faster than some old man on the cornerI feel a spin in the head that isn’t normalBut who really cares when there’s a party to seeJust make sure that we can scream one, two, three Line and spaceLet’s bring theContinue reading “Trollied”

Ingress

Hi! I’ve got a shorter story for you this week at a little over 10,000 words. Overall, doing quite well at keeping these on the shorter side recently. Pleased about that because it means I can write more. Not that you’ll know any different as stories still only get posted once a week. Anyway, thisContinue reading “Ingress”

Fade And Decay

Too busy with your stashTo have noticed the flashChemicals have fried your brainYou barely even remember your nameJust a crutch on which you restUnprepared for any kind of test Craving yet another hitIt’s not even been a bitAnd watching is killing meIt’s so rough to have to seeEvery attempt has failed miserablyYou just walk rightContinue reading “Fade And Decay”

Hex

Fashioned from the bones of crowDo you really want me to go?Then just say the wordsBefore the return of the birdsSelfish lie is how you like to cryAnother person with a false goodbyeJust angling for a goalReady to shovel out the coalPity you never thought to lookInstead you just mistook…Compassion for weaknessBetrayed the new fetusWoveContinue reading “Hex”
