31 DAYS OF HORROR

(LINK UP YOUR SCARY STORIES IN THE COMMENTS BELOW)

WRITTEN BY TWINDADDY AND HASTYWORDS

Streams of orange
Torrents of black
Dangled overhead
Twisting and turning
Ebbing and flowing
Driving me mad

The haunting grows closer
I can’t stand to watch
I know what is coming
The fear, the bleeding
The ethereal attacks
Spirits mad as hell

A feeding frenzy hidden
I can hear the gnawing
But the guttural moans
Are silently concealed
Beneath the floorboards
Of those dancing
To the “Monster Mash”

He was the new kid at school
And I knew there was something off
Every single kid I knew, oblivious
To his charismatic and inviting call
Enjoy the punch his family said
Enjoy the treats one and all

Friends and family dance away
Ignorant of their fate
They don’t know what lurks below
My panicked scream shatters
The rapturous celebration
I fear it’s way too late

The ceiling began to bleed
A crimson waterfall
The sound of people screaming
Drowned in gurgled blood
They scampered for the exits
But there was no escape

Looking back on that night
There was nothing I could do
Now part of the ambiance I wait
For the next party to be thrown
It’s my turn to be the new kid
Luring you into this Halloween charade
