MothMan

Based on true evens from 1966 - 1967 in point pleasant West Virginia.

I see the piercing red eyes. The wingspan so long. I feel the pain from this creature and I began to shake and scream in fear. It's so very, very tall. and this sound is so loud. It's not my turn but I see death waiting at my door. The sound echoes across the town. Now I see, the creature as it takes off in flight. As Day forms from the night. Its left it calling, So many dead. 47 and counting in my head. It has been seen so many times now it back to take its mimes.



This creature is out there no one knows to were, how, or when. But, it is not the killer just the angel. It may look hellish but to understand, this creature is here to lend a hand. It feels us as one and it Knows what it has done. So many lives, so little time. It stays in this way not to move, its faster then a rocket. And it will live forever, for it lives none at all.

Author's Note

Haha~ A lot of folks think the mothman is a being of Chef Cornstalk who was killed by Confedert solder in 1776... who's dying words were: “I was the border man’s friend. Many times I have saved him and his people from harm. I never warred with you, but only to protect our wigwams and lands. I refused to join your paleface enemies with the red coats. I came to the fort as your friend and you murdered me. You have murdered by my side, my young son.... For this, may the curse of the Great Spirit rest upon this land. May it be blighted by nature. May it even be blighted in its hopes. May the strength of its peoples be paralyzed by the stain of our blood.” He was shot eight times before he fell to the floor. .

Sometimes things are not what they seem to be and many tend to be afraid of the unknown or aliens. Have you ever thought about why aliens are called 'aliens'? In fact, alien just is a posh word for stranger and often depicted as dark and not to be trusted just as human strangers.
Yes I believe there is life beyond the planet Earth...
No I do not think they are out to get us ...
Should we ever have the chance to have an encounter with an alien, we should be kind, like this creature seemed cruel, but was kind.
One note, you have written a prose poem instead of a poem, for it is too short to be a full story, but I have enjoyed it!

I know the only other incident of a flying humanoid in the U.S. is the New Jersey Devil. Sightings of both creatures are said by legend to warn of misfortune.

Wow! I heard of the Mothman Legend, and it was so fascinating and creepy! The words are perfectly organized and well-thought off!
Describing the fear and eeriness!

I really liked this. I thought the concept and use of words near perfection. However, I could not get past the formatting and grammar. You have a talent that I will never possess.

[A Soap Mess Stories]

Great story. I was intrigued by it. I love stories that are true.

I have heard of its tale, the moth man. And I believe that he just an dark angel with a disfigurement, hence why he is named the moth man. For all we know he could be she, we simple don't know. Everyone has there own idea of who it is.
But this is a really good piece of work, different to my usual read... Well done!

This is fantastic, I love it! Very well written and nicely presented too, a great piece of writing. Very interesting indeed, simply wonderful and most intriguing, great job~ There are so many misunderstood beings in the world, it seems.
