I lay bare on the cold floor
My lifeless body pale and empty
Blood gushing out of my stomach
Signaling the time of a heavy passing.
Wondering if I can find a sign
That I was alive
In this dark and lonely place
I wait for some kind of miracle
To ease my suffering
And my being deprived
Of the line I once drew encased
So bring me back a body
A face I can recognize
A voice I can hear
And a heartb...
The wind howled through the abandoned graveyard as the spirit emerged from the ground. It had been centuries since it had last walked the earth, and it had a singular purpose: revenge.
The spirit was once a human, a powerful and feared warlord who had been betrayed and killed by those he had trusted most. His death had been a cruel and unjust one, and he had spent the past centuries in purgatory,...

Sometimes I would always hear these voices telling me to leave and don’t look back. But I didn’t because I didn’t understand why or what is happening but by the time I knew why. It’s too late since my sister is already attached to this place we live in, including my parents as well. Everything I do is hopeless, now all is left is the demon taking our souls.
It is midnight when I entered my sleepi...
Why do they get to smile?
Why do they get to laugh?
She’s the one that died, she’s the one they killed.
Why do they have a chance to be happy while she is drowning in anguish and misery?
They caused this, they are the ones to blame!
Their stress made her drink, their existence made her angry.
They deserve all that she has gotten, they deserve pain for the choices she made.
The choices...
Time and vengeance are bitter company for the dead,
They fester and grow and feed and spread.
When the body turns cold and the soul has no rest,
Dark things arise and an apparition is possessed.
Hungry and yearning and greedy for truth,
Justice is served with absence of ruth.
Not of this plane and spared from this earth,
From spite and reprisal she earns her rebirth.
Vengeance embodied and...
It was an odd feeling. For someone who was dead, you’d think that she wouldn’t feel anything at all. But she did.
Pure, venomous hatred. That’s what she felt. And it writhed inside her like a snake bending back on itself, turning her insides out.
