Lost in the hollow woods

Biting cold wind nips at skin

Lips quiver, but no sound escapes

Full moon plays hide and seek

 

Wolves hang their head back in a grouling howl

Bare branches cast frightening shadows

Feet stager as they try to make their escape

Something is coming

 

Eyes as red as crimson blood hunt her

A face of a blood eating creature

It makes no sound

But she can sense its presence

 

Fog rises from the cold ground

Fear etches on ashen face

Death is near,

Clawing at thin air

 

Hallow ground has to be near

Wind blows a chilling breath

Eyes search, but cannot see

Hands out stretched she walks on

 

A blood cruling scream pierces the night

An unseen hand grabs her long black hair

Red eyes glare at her

Hot breath touches cold cheeks

 

A loud hideous growl deep in his throat beakons death

Halloween night brings another murder

Her lifeless body lays on the ground

He vanishes into thin air

      UNTIL.....

Next Halloween

       

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

Tell me what you think!

Had to write about a full moon glowing and naked branches swaying in the breeze that has a bite to it. A creature lurks with red eyes glowing.

Reviews

A creature that I would certainly not want to face even in the light of day, let alone on Halloween night in those preternatuarl woods. Very well done.

[Samuel Dickens]

I think I'll stay out of those woods--especially when Halloween nears. A image-conjuring, frightful-good piece of writing.
