The castle of
horror stands alone abandoned and ruined on the highest point of the hill. The
dark windows glare with evil intent, trying to ensnare you and steal your
innocent soul.
Your eyes follow
the signs of centuries of mold along the black walls, where the shining
multi-colored scales of a mystical beast shine invitingly in the glare of the
full moon. Dark menacing clouds curl around the spires of the roof with evil
promise.
Terrified and
carefully you make your way up the cobbled footpath wondering what will be
waiting for you in this wicked place. Perhaps here you will witness quiet
acceptance of century’s pain and suffering.
While you stand
shivering looking up, wandering souls in hopeless search for mercy whispers past
your body. Why can’t they find any rest and peace? How did they not welcome
death with open arms after their poor bodies were broken and tortured without
any mercy? To now be haunting their place of death with no rest for eternity.
The black, gaping
door beckons you with a grin of hellish threat. Do you have the courage to
enter and share your soul with the disenchantment of unholy practices of days
gone by? How many satanic murders weren't committed in this place in the name
of religion? Innocent virgins sacrificed to satisfy the needs of demonic
followers.
Unwilling and
without reservation you place one foot over the threshold. Cold crawling
shivers run down your spine and you feel the evil glaring from the darkness
with hatred. Waiting to seduce you and steal your soul gleefully.
Haunting souls
call out to you for mercy and release. It burns through your spirit with
desperation. You feel the hopelessness in the deepest recesses of your inner
being, and empathy cuts through your bones. This is the moment to turn around
and forget about your reckless urge to explore evil.
Indiscreetly you
submit yourself to this abandoned castle of abomination. The mausoleum swallows
you and you find yourself surrounded by a blackness that defies all reason.
Frightened you grope around for something substantial to assure you that you
won’t disappear into nothingness. There is nothing! Your arms fold protectively
around your body, but it offers no reassurance.
Cold slimy fingers
crawl over your feet and you feel yourself engulfed with dread. A demonic
giggle make you turn around but you are blinded by unforgiving darkness.
Direction has no meaning and you have no idea where the door is. Hopelessness
invades your heart with icy claws and you realize there is no escape.
Burning red eyes
appear around you and feel your heart palpitating. Hot sulfuric breath swirls around your unprotected body. A venomous hiss causes cold sweat of anxiety to
cover your body. An insane roar fills your ears without mercy and you know
without a doubt that your soul is about to join the others. Without mercy your
body gets torn to pieces and you feel your blood flow as an offering to the
power of darkness. For a moment you experience peace as your soul leaves your
ravaged body, but then you realize you’re now also doomed to roam this evil
hateful place for all eternity.
Thank you for reading it Lily!
ReplyDeleteIs this just a thought, or is it part of something bigger, like a novel or short story. It's certainly dark!
ReplyDeletebut then again you were writing horror. Good work.
Thank you Michael! It was just an essay I wrote for second year students.
