The Bad Place

A terror poem in honor of the Halloween season.

By Jason MortonPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

Putrid stenches of the bad place stain my nostrils, the smell everlasting,

I try not to remember the sight of that monstrous reality in my dreams,

Screams in the night all I hear when my head hits the pillow,

I struggle to wash the taste of that hell from my mouth,

Looking at my hands, I still feel the warmth of all that blood I can never wash away,

From fiction to reality there’s tons to share about this crazy life. From being a single father, an officer, and having had many insane adventures while I learned about the world, my imagination runs wild with ideas.
