What Is Waiting In The Shadows?
Stood At The Dark End Of This Street
Your Dark, Dark Thoughts Make Your Fear Grow
Your Fear Is Turning To Sheer Fright
π€ππ€
Is There A Blade In Its Dark Hand
To Cut Your Frail Flesh, Make You Bleed
Stain The Street Red, Your Blood Now Damned
It Flays Your Flesh, To Sate Its Greed
π€ππ€
It Wants Your Blood, It Wants Your Pain
Stabs And Cuts Again And Again
There Is No One To Help You Here
On The Ground Pooled In Blood And Fear
π€ππ€
The Creature Finishes Feeding
Leaves Your Corpse, Murdered, Bleeding
π€ππ€ππ€ππ€ππ€ππ€π

Paradise: To Be or Not To Be
Jacob looked down at his chest. His skin was firm, his muscles sinewy. There was only the faintest shadow of a mark where the plastic drain had once been. Not even a scar, only a mere discolouration. He stroked his fingers over the spot, then over his arms reassuring himself that he was here, that there could be no mistake; he was, without a doubt, alive.
