their cries are haunting me
i wish i could filter out
or at least dim the torment
of the wailing
of those not yet pronounced dead
hopefully soon
shrieks reduced to whimpers
then silence
on hallow’s eve
Inspired by Sunday Writing Prompt – Aghast
the lips parting wide
i am aghast and disturbed
spider oozing out
subjecting ourselves
to scream-producing eerie things
vile and sick things
or revolting and heave-inducing things
wanting fear to take over
allowing ourselves to be unnerved
a freakish desire for jolts to our nervous system
…what is wrong with us or rather, you?
that spine-tingling you’re feeling
that intense fear, shock and/or disgust
it feels real, doesn’t it
it digs into you deep
so you’re breathing heavy
and shallower
and oh so much quieter
straining your ears harder
you believe
death is imminent
it’s in your head, love
there are no bogeymen
no one is whispering
creeping around in cool mists
getting all up in your face
hissing in your ears
chilling you to the bone
it’s your nerves fabricating this
and a hell of an imagination
i’m laughing at you….
wait. did you see that? what was that? did you hear that?
OMG!! HELP ME!! I WAS WRONG.
SO WRONG!!!
PSYCH! Just kidding… 😉
The moonlit castle looked quite mysterious in the cold wind. Each step echoed on the bridge, my brain and body icy with tension. A blood-curdling scream forced me to make a full stop and re-evaluate.
I’ve made some rather poor decisions in my past; maybe this one would be another?

You’ll judge my being.
I’m hesitant to show me,
afraid of failure.
