We do not know when,

It crawled out,

Speaking of sins,

Looking like face paint,

Looking wide-eyed,

Crusty and clicking,

Ghostly white and wide,

Dragging on four limbs,

Sliding on four,

Made its way,

Laughing,

Through the front door.

Leaving bloody things,

Dripping on vulture wings,

Making sad faces,

As in the mind came unbridled screams,

Consuming the wicked,

Consuming the nice,

It’s eyes cold and dark,

Like blood-dried ice.

Ungorged mouth,

Unhinged grin,

Bones are not solid,

Its prey will slide right in—

Coming for meat,

Coming for flesh,

A monster thing,

Underneath the thresh,

Of the trees as they blow,

In its storm.

Want to read something longer by me? How about a whole novel! 

“Just Another Chosen One is a blisteringly paced, action-soaked debut from author Brandon Scott, sure to appeal to those who’ve gotten tired of reading the same old stories about the child of prophecy destined to save the world.”
