Day of Demons

When humans become the hunted

People walk peacefully down the streets

A loud murmur of talking is the soundtrack

They hurriedly move towards their destinations

Uncaring about those around them

Unknown to those hurrying people

Claws begin to poke out of the ground

Behind those claws come a hand, then an arm

Then comes the ugly head of the body

Out comes the first demon

A dastardly looking black creature

With joy, the demon comes behind a woman

Carefully, his long yellow claws reach for her shoulder

Annoyed, the woman turns around

But the sight of the demon freezes her anger

The blood drains from her face as fear overtakes her

She lets loose a bloodcurdling scream

Fueling the demons rising from the ground

One by one the rest of the humans notice them

Sending each of them into a panic

The demons happily chase after the people

Like a cat after a mouse

The reverberating screams are cut off

One by one as the chaos continues

The survivors hide where they can

As the demons run around the street

Occasionally slipping in red puddles

The humans wait in fear

As screams occasionally sound

Until they are abruptly cut off

Although some continue for several minutes

Their agonizing shrieks ring out and slowly fade

Some humans try to escape the city

Their screams seem to reach new heights

As they resound through all of the buildings

The few who have survived hide pitifully

Cowering underground in hopes of not getting caught

While the demons enjoy their city

Eating their dinners and fighting among themselves

As they enjoy their time above ground

On the day of demons
