THE QUEEN OF FLIES

a dude is judged for his sin.

 

The Queen of Flies

 

There is no turning back now...

I have done my dirty deeds, a whole family murdered for one man's profit, and must be judged. I take the the bitter candies, and cut my wrist for good measure.

IT ALL GOES DARK.....

I open my eyes. It takes them a minute to adjust. The only light is the low gray glow of what appears to be a river flowing through this cave. The Maire smells of putrid toxins emitting from the river.

Before me she sits...

Skin gray the color of rotting flesh,thin sprouts of black hair protrude from her head. They seem to drip with the same substance from the river. Her eyes lifeless and black like voids of nothingness. Jagged sharp rotting teeth jut from her mouth giving her an evil snarl.

She speaks. The voice sounds like a thousands lost souls all screaming at once.

“ Call me pain,

Call me hatred,

Call me death and rot.

For I am THE QUEEN OF FLIES! Mother of THE BLACK DEATH!”

I called to her,

“I plead with you spare me!!i have made a very big mistake, please give me another chance!!!”

I was looking for pity from the mother of death, to her I was nothing but a stupid infant...

“There is no way out of this cave except through death.” She said in her thousand scream voice.

I knew not what to do...

She just stared with her death eyes.

The putrid stench began to grow fouler, it was becoming unbearable the worse the stench grew the more I could feel my skin and eyes start to burn. With each breath she exhaled my clothes began to melt. My eyes began watering, my skin began to blister.

I knew I was going to Die.

It was inevitable Now.

She knew why I was here there would be no pleading no jury. Ultimate and final judgment

There was no backing out now. THE QUEEN OF FLIES knows no mercy.

I stand there naked. Fists clenched MY eyes began to bleed. I stood there and waited, for my release my judgment

The wait was a hell all in its own...

She said nothing just stared. Her death eyes piercing me looking straight into my blood soaked haggard soul.

The stench filled my lungs, Blood gushed from my ears as well as my mouth eyes and nose.

“You have committed a great sin” she said.

I could barely hear her it was all garbled from the blood gushing from my ears like crimson rivers flowing down my neck painting my body the color of my soul.

“My judgment is Death with damnation for eternity.” She finished.

She opened her mouth wide.

The oder intensified...

Her rotten molded jagged teeth showed and her tongue long and black like a snakes whipped out and pierced the air. A black cloud billowed from her mouth

THE BLACK DEATH...

The flies covered my body feeding on my flesh till I was nothing. The pain never stopped even after I stopped existing.

This is very creative. I like how it is not the normal grim reaper or king of hell themed poem. The Queen of the Flies works very well here, and It caught my attention from just the tittle. I loved how it progressed from her sin to her death. It is a great progression and very well worded. This is good.
