Sparrow? No...Chicken Chaser!

I play Fable waayyy too much =O

Stench of burning flesh...

Arises in the dead of winter...

Midnight air...

Closing in the wreckage...

Vomit splatters on he walls...

Sickly breaking of many hearts...

See the carnage...

Lick it clean...

Tongue like knives...

Stabbing butterflies...

Breaking chains and ripping tape...

Tearing flesh upon fake bodies...

Plastic turns to ribbon...

Blazing eyes and shadowed cries...

Ignited dreams and frilly things...

Free the captives...

Golden hearts...

Shudders and trembles rip at the seams...

Needled ones bite the hand that feeds...

Sticking metal into the skin...

Through the walls can hide your kin...

Hollow trees and deadly breese...

Stomachs turning all at ease...

Upon the hilltop looking down...

A hero arises saving your town.

Author's Note

Make sure when you read it, that you read every line by pattern, so you don't read things out of place. I just aligned every line differently, so read each one in order. Examp: Stench of burning flesh...Arises in the dead of winter...Midnight air...(you get the point) Tell me what you think! =D
