The Shadow

In darkness I linger. Your dreams I eat. Not made of tissue. Nor of meat. In nightmares I lurk. On screams I feed. No soul I have. Pure fear I breed. I'll tell you a secret. I don't like being me.

It is ice... Yet liquid. Chilled, frozen hard but flowing, caressing my every vein and every artery. Directing my every crimson muscle in to a motionless hibernation. Pale blue with streaks of silver.

You Pick

A dangerous claw. Slashing souls. Claiming them for itself. Saving the coals. A red firey pit. Hot and endless. A hot oven mit. Holding you tight. You try to escape. No exit in sight.
