The Monsters Among Men

As the air grows cold and the wind howls towards the moon. Snow falls and hearts break like ice on tile. As the red moon rises and the last day sets a monster is born. When the red moon sets and the dark moon rises he hunts for food and the remainder of his cursed soul. He waits by the path and hears the steps of a being. A human with a light tread a female, young too. About hundred pounds, Slender but plump enough. The Monster sees her come into view and he prepares to pounce. But then he stops, what could stop such a horrid beast? The eyes thought the creature. He had only seen eyes like those once before. They were Anna’s eyes; In fact she looked a great deal like Anna. The girl Had Anna’s soft porcelain skin same Dark brown hair and of course the eyes, deep green with specks of gold in them. He let himself think for a moment maybe… he thought, but then cruel reality hit him like a ton of rock. Anna was dead. He had killed her over one hundred years ago. Even if he hadn’t killed her she would be dead by now, surely she would. But he, being the beast he was never aged, he would be nineteen for all eternity. Suddenly he couldn’t think straight all he could see was the rise and fall of her chest, the only sound he heard was the thud of her heart. He could taste her fear like wine in his mouth. So he let go of his humanity and hunted who was surely Anna’s great granddaughter.
