beware the #banshee
if you hear her cry
run and don't look back
she is not the grim reaper
but his herald
you do not know who
or how or when
that uncertainty
is what kills you

Arsenic and #nightshade
the black widow
stirs the tea
pours the cups
and waits for
the party festivities
to begin.

seven feet tall
#gaunt, almost skeletal
sits in the corner
but it doesn't move
doesn't speak
it just watches
the night go by.

You hear #scratching. Is it the cat? Wait, you don't own a cat. Perhaps it's just the branches of the tree against your window. But you trimmed those last weekend. This is an old house. The foundations shift and settle.
Surely not a ghost. Or a demon. They don't exist.

The city built their temple on top of an ancient secret: levels upon level of #catacombs, the resting place of their ancestors. It was meant to be in their honour. Their wisdom empowered the oracles.
But the spirits wanted to be left alone to sleep. They did not appreciate it

Until the sunset & the unusual #scratching began
It moved from the walls to the ceiling
Following them from room to room

I entered the antique shop to an awful smell. โFind the source!โ My boss said; ran to her car like the #oasis it was.
Iโd expected a rat crushed to a #pulp or a #putrescent fruit, but my search led toโฆan #amulet?
I poked it. Darkness oozed out.
Ah, a ๐ฉ๐ข๐ถ๐ฏ๐ต๐ฆ๐ฅ amulet.

They had expected it, but the sheer horror of the castle guards froze them in their tracks. The #putrescent stench, rotted skin, empty eye sockets, bloodless lips. Skull cracked to reveal maggoty brain matter inside.
It took short work to put them to rest. It was a mercy.

What's the deal? it was the longest line out there in sins longest corridor.
Let's dance said the devil, soon we're all out of order..
..crossing that border! soon out in that carnival..
..absence of tranquility; what, no hero or anti-hero?

Her katana did not melt because it was protected by the magic of warriors who forged it in the heat of battle from pure steel.

A section of the library was devoted to #lurid tales. He immediately saw gaps in the rows of books. Thirteen books missing.
"Which books have been taken? Find out!"
The librarian tracked down every volume. She said, "Each one about a specific murder...and a bloody way of killing."
#vssmystery
She stared at him with #hollow eyes. Whatever spark she had was no more. Her soul erased, her sense of joy, of wonder, of adventure was completely gone.
They reduced her no little more than a minion.
He sighed and gave her the killing orders. It wouldn't be traced back to him.

Music drew me inexorably to a cafe.
The pianist, fingers a #blur played as if in a tranceโan #oracle relaying the answer to a #mystery.
The song filled the #hollow #ruin of my heart; erased each cold, #lurid #fable there with a #blush of warmth.
