The Feast Beneath

Where Shadows Feed and Screams Never Fade

Beneath the floor, a whisper calls,

A screech that shakes the crumbling walls.

Claws that scrape, breath so cold,

A hungry thing from realms untold.

-

You try to flee, but shadows cling,

The floorboard cracks, the walls sting.

It pulls you down with savage grace,

To join the dead in that cursed place.

-

No escape, no one to hear,

The screams below will never clear.

Now you’re part of the endless feast,

Where terror never stops, to say the least.
