Devourer of Silence

When the Storm Speaks, You Won’t Survive to Listen

The storm ignites—black veins of fire,

Hissing tongues that twist and conspire.

The air is wrong. It groans. It sways.

The sky peels back in hungry waves.

-

Lightning splits—a jagged grin,

Something slithers deep within.

A voice erupts, raw and torn,

Crawling from the static storm.

-

Fingers stretch from flickering light,

Skeletal, crackling, whispering blight.

The wind convulses—shrieks, deforms—

Then drags me into the storm.
