irreparable harm

it was not a blade
he used to cleave her
it was emotion
that would not leave her.

The small #remnant of consciousness still lingered in his mind. The one passed down from father to son. It waited until the right moment to assert itself. When it did, the change in personality confused everyone around him. And so the specter
survived from age to age.

She’s a great anti-hero! I agree with your take on Asian culture in New Mexico and hope to see more of her in your #horrorprompt writes 🖤

With time, only remnants of his evil remained, bloodstains scattered in every corner of the village.
Yet even beyond death, he was feared; simple folk spoke his name in trembling tones, and doors were bolted against the memory of him.

As Paxon rifled through the remnants of the old storage unit. He was surprised to find an old set of exoskeletons left in the far back. They were covered in old sheets, and a sign taped above them simply stated...

"Do not repair and do not power them on."

An #acrid smell hit his nostrils as he descended into the basement. The search dog stopped at the top of the stairs and refused to move an inch. His handler reassured it with soft words.

His flashlight revealed why. He glanced up. "Bonnie, call forensics. I need this place roped off."

They never saw their new neighbours. One day, a handwritten invitation arrived, inviting them over for a drink. At first, they seemed normal and nice. But when they tasted the drinks, there was an acrid taste. They never made it back home.

Dallas covered his nose as he stepped inside. On every surface, there was a slimy sheen of discolored mucus. Along with a sickening sour smell lingering in the air, enough to take your breath away. He knew then that he wouldn't be finding any bodies.

Harper knew it was unbecoming of a lady to 'seduce' her victims. How was she supposed to protect her sister if the man she was dating was willing to cheat on her? It would be okay though, because Harper would be there to hold her sister as she cried.

Rogue came out of their hiding place, letting out an audible gasp at the scene. Blood and viscera were everywhere, along with a few bodies strewn around. What they failed to notice was the bloody cleaver in their own hand.

It was like a carousel revolving around a spit. The ET in the center forced them to walk in a circle. Each time one of the crew members opened or closed their eyes, a short burst of laser light struck their skin. The acrid smell was nauseating. #Scififri #vss365 #horrorprompt

undoing

once upon a time
we thought we found joy
together we stitched
the fabric of creation
now we unravel
thoughtless and frazzled
we blindly watch the
unbecoming of the world

"This is #unbecoming of a vampire!"

"I love her and I respect her wish to live her life to its natural conclusion! Only then will I claim her as my own!"

"Mortals are treacherous and will betray you when they find someone better!"

His face was like stone. "If she does? So be it."

revenge will come for you in time
do not tempt the black sheep
blatantly ignored my entire life
revenge will come for you in time
shall the sharpened cleaver be raised high
above your wrinkled neck as you sleep?

During the day he worked in a butcher's shop. At night he found different ways to use a cleaver. His mind was warped and dark. Locals thought he was jovial a fine member of the community, little did they know. Unexplained deaths began to mount.

Cleaver

Mama Bear, so she was known, would stand in the kitchen in her chartreuse mumu and rainbow Crocs, hacking her cleaver into whatever roadkill her boys would bring her for stew.

Rabbits, cayotes, armadillas, city boys ... once they brought her a honesttagoodness Cajun!

"You have an impressive collection of blades."

"Some of it's heirlooms, some are gifts."

"Kitchen knives and #cleavers? You planning to open a restaurant?"

"Sure, if zombie brains are on the menu."

#Vault security's still #true, master.” The orc groveled.
The orc lich pointed at an apothecary table. #Frustrate the #blue #fronds to #clarify their power and bring them to me.”
“Frustrate?”
The backhand was swift. “Shake it.”
“Yes, master.”
