He abandoned her before Death’s breath.

His pride did not hide,
Seven deadly sins, hollow,
She could not follow.

never underestimate the danger of a mouse .. it can stalk you through fields or house .. on a whim it tears out your throat .. or rips to shreds your fancy coat .. better feed it so it's fat .. oh i said mouse? i meant cat

#horrorprompt #danger #vsshorror

that dog will never bite me

#horrorinsix

i'll just apply this #lick of paint .. your face looks faint .. you might be sick .. don't worry 'bout caustic petrol itch .. your face is melting .. waxen drip .. i'm artist of macabre .. now where's my candelabra

#horrorprompt #vsshorror

macabre artist paints skin tones caustic

#horrorinsix

arg .. it was a haiku prompt eh? let's try it again

sacrifice awry
crops failed, drought, plague, madness spreads
blood tenfold next time

#haikuhorrorprompt #athame

decimate our people in desperate sacrifices

#horrorinsix #vsshorror

they called me athamé .. ceremonial knife .. representing fire / air .. not for taking a life .. but for waving and chanting .. it's really quite fun .. then for making a sandwitch .. when ritual's done

#horrorprompt #vsshorror #athame

desperate sacrifices colour athame hilt bloody

#horrorinsix

you look askance in my direction .. shout at me i must accept .. the brutal treatment that you do me .. or you shall reject .. such anti-love by gaslight .. chills the heart and air .. day is night .. life is .. fair

#horrorprompt #vsshorror

gaslight turns lies into will-o-wisp truths
#horrorinsix

this is where the darklings .. weave shadows for your room .. from fear and spite .. hope's void .. and snicker-threaded gloom .. think monster's under bed .. beware .. the monster's in the very air .. sweet dreams

#horrorprompt #vsshorror

gloomspinners weave darkness just for you

He was depraved #collector of sorts
selecting which organs to take
to his squalid lair. No mercy for his victims
One of his most heinous pleasures
was to shrivel brains to size of a walnut

The surgeon had endless flashbacks of when he'd eviscerated the specimen. In dark moments he was haunted by this unearthly being. He couldn't skirt around the truth, it was just too real.

The handyman repairs but also destroys. He shatters skulls with hammers, then hides the broken pieces under his floor. In his mind he sees no wrong and while he works he sings a song.

handyman shatters, repairs wrong your skull

#bonesplitter spitting fragments in your face

~

yiss, tasty marrow, deep in bones. i won't take all, i'm greedy no. just 1 or 2 or 6 or nine, split with my splitting teeth and chew. #bonesplitter 's coming, on his way. don't hide or you'll have hell to pay

#horrorinsix #horrorprompt #vsshorror

grievous, my shadow dissolves into pain

~

i've always mistrusted my shadow. sneaking behind me, always there, always listening. i run but can't escape. at night it expands, its #amorphous presence smothering me. the only escape, in every new house, is fire

#horrorinsix #horrorprompt #vsshorror

keep friends close to hurt them

~

' i'm your only friend '
it whispers in trembling brain
- speaking truth again -

my boy took stone from cursed cairn, joked it was safe. his hand blackened, his arm then, for succor too late. as he gasped his last breath i felt terror evisceral. therapy seven years later impossible

darklings: vanta shadows from the void

~

in silence slither - a darkness devoid of hope. called by your cruelty i arrive. look deep in that shadow, a darkening patch? don't sleep or i'll be in your dreamings in less than a snap

#collector selecting which organs to shrivel

~

abandoned griefling rots on park bench, scowling at the passing folk, he chooses which ones show emotion, shrivels organs out of spite, their screams he harvests for his lair, pinning them, still screaming, high
