It smiles from the darkness.
It watches from the corners.
Bloodstained teeth behind dirty lips.
Cynical laughter from underneath the bed.
Slowly creeping up the stairs.
Stomachs growling from out in the hall.
Hungry for lost minds and empty souls.
Searching for the lonely and misguided.
Turning them into monsters.
Sinister beings who devour everything.
Bringing about the downfall of their enemies.
Seeking revenge on those who've wronged them.
The monsters have multiplied.
the creatures have doubled.
Everyone else is in a world of trouble

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.
