"He saw that the being had nothing in it that was human and it was only dressed in the body it had once owned" Ghost Story by Peter Straub

Glowing eyes, lip curled up, vacant smile

Pure evil within, a twisted mind

A cursed life, nothing to live for - the damned

The smell of death, as they approach, choking you

You are frozen and cannot run at the sight of his dishevelled clothes and rotten corpse

You are disgusted but intrigued, lured by his fateful stare, his eyes glimmering like the moonlight on the ocean

He draws you in only to suck you dry

To devour and expel your soul to the darkness within

Pure destruction and chaos at its whim

Revulsion coursing through your veins

As you look at its face, smiling as it feeds

Gagging at the thought of the decay that has touched you, fed on you, used you

Wishing you could forget the spell that led you to your fate

Begging to be free, to release you from this dying state.
