Disturbed Earth

A poetic tale of horror between vulnerable prey and unknown but paranormal predator.

Resting beneath...he lurks
His eyes penetrate and wait for the entity of curiosity...


A little girl awakens and feels alive
She looks around in the dark and sees shadows
These shadows whisper into her mind and tell her to wander

She gets up quietly and floats to the woods
There she hears wind crackling, night creatures conversing
and feels lunar power

She explores deeper into these woods
and moves past twisted trees that hold
the mysteries and secrets
of nocturnal life

She feels fear but she feels drawn to him...
he anxiously awaits...

She moves into a cometary area...
the stench of lost souls and aged soil overwhelms
The fog dances around her and smothers her face
kissing, teasing, and tickling it

She walks toward a grave and glares at it
in the state of possession

Her body starts to feel cold and faint
Her vision begins to distort
and a blackened wet hand reaches from above the tombstone

A dirty gritty voice calls out to her
and beckons her closer
She leans in with sweat, terror and fascination
eyes wide as moons

She must see what is there
What her destiny must become
in her delicate white gown

The extension of the hand soon brings forth an arm
that begins to fold onto the hollowed surface...
another hand slowly pushes upward
and reveals a murky arm

A horrid head pops up with moist sounds
bulging gaping red eyes and an expansive grin
with sharp long gray decayed teeth
Moans of misery coupled with murderous giggling
submerge the atmosphere
and the wind begins to howl intensely

The trees seem to move and create a chant

The little girl becomes zombified and stares into his eyes
quivering and shaking
but still captivated

He rises up further to reveal a long snake-like body
with frenzied spider legs

He crawls towards her and expands his putrid mouth
spewing out hot slime that burns her skin
She suddenly snaps out of her trance
and screams until her throat pops
She coughs violently and spits out blood & fresh pink flesh

She no longer has a voice
but she begins to run
with all her might

He slithers after her
tearing up ground
splitting up trees
and ripping apart into a lanky human form
as he closes in near her domain...
