Soon
We hear a cry
and from the darkness
see something unfold itself
from among the shadows.
A cry pierces the air
a cry so full of pain
that it couldn’t belong
to an inhabitant of this world.
It reveals its face in the shadow.
A terrible, expressionless orb
portraying nothing human
and revealing the demon inside.
A thin black line
cracks its face
in what only can be described
as a smile of Lucifer.
Quickly he comes down upon you
tearing at your flesh
blood seaping from the wounds
your cries ringing into the darkness.
And from behind you
you feel his ragged breath
and his long clawed nails
pull your hair from your ear
And in a voice echoing the cries
of poor souls living for eternity
in the fires of Hell
whispers one terrifying word.
“Soon”
