It emits a sludge that covers the surrounding area
Anything that isn't living becomes infected by the gunk, turning it pitch black
This sucks all light from the area, effectively rendering anyone there #blind
That's when it makes its move

On the bank of the Littlesaw river it waits, hoping that someone will come along and join it, but the locals have been warned
They know all too well from the drownings of '96 to stay away
So it sits, waiting for the day the town forgets again, just like in '96, and '71, and '47

Her tales were not written with #ink but in blood
That gave them a special something, a je ne sais quoi
Those who read the stories said they seemed to ooze off the page
It was a nice surprise until her gruesome creations actually began to physically manifest
#vss365 #vsshorror
He had never seen anything like it before
It was so foreign, that he couldn't tell if it was an #arm or a leg
Overtaken with curiosity, he took it home to study it
That would be a fatal mistake, as the owner of the lost limb came looking for it
#vss365 #vsshorror
They searched all over the house for the Thompsons, but all that was found was a single, severed hand
However, the family never left their home, since their bodies had been sealed inside the walls
Now they make sure anyone who enters their place never leaves
#vss365 #vsshorror
Amongst the millions of grains of #sand were a handful of deadly ones
A simple touch could prove fatal, but there was no way of knowing which ones they were
It was a terrible situation made all the worse by the fact someone was hunting him across the dunes
#vss365 #vsshorror
It was holy ground, so the beast shouldn't have been able to enter, but the lone #ring of the chapel bell told him he was mistaken
He couldn't run from the very thing he brought into the world through his sins
The only tragedy from his death is that he would not be the last
#vss365 #vsshorror
She wasn't aware of its power when she purchased it from her local antique shop
As an old soul, she wanted a #pen to write out her latest novel
A tale about a creature that brutally rips through all it comes across
The #pen brought it to life, with her as its first victim
#vss365 #vsshorror
What makes a #man?
That's exactly what it was trying to figure out
To blend in and infiltrate their ranks, it had to understand them
So it started by simply observing, but that proved pointless
Quickly, it changed tactics to capture and analysis through dissection
#vss365 #vsshorror
Lights flickered & out of the darkness, he could see nothing.
He heard a serious of beeps, unable to #translate into any understanding.
Then #memory & panic came back in flashes; it was another abduction.
This time no little green men but a many tentacled creature.
#2wordrompt #scifi #vsshorror
The creatures knew their prey too well
There was no need to exhaust themselves with physical barrages, they just had to obfuscate the #truth
Hide reality behind a wall of lies and simply watch as the people fought each other
When the humans were weak, the beasts would swoop in
#vss365 #vsshorror
No time to #hesitate, the howl had been heard.
The urge was to run flee but the fear was to trip fall, succumbing to the inevitable purge; though a rebellion was in force.
Fields were left oozing rivers of blood, teeth and limbs spat out haphazardly everywhere.
#horrorprompt #vsshorror
He came promising to cure their ailments, and for that they #exalted him
They treated him like royalty, when he was nothing more than a con artist with a few powers
He gave them the illusion of health, then slipped away with their money, leaving them to die horrible deaths
#vss365 #vsshorror
His exemplary #conduct was only there as a cover
Under the cloak of night he was anything but
When the murders started, no one even thought to suspect him
He probably would have gotten away with it all, but he got greedy and tried to kill two people at once
#vss365 #vsshorror
The #sprite was there to warn them, but they couldn't understand it
How unfortunate, since they had neither the strength or stamina to survive against the beast that awaited them
#vss365 #vsshorror
He was in constant hunt of his #illusive prey
The creature was shifty, jumping from person to person
No matter what, it had to be stopped
That's why he never felt guilty when he killed a host
#vss365 #vsshorror
Once you have become their target, it's not just you who will suffer
They #revolve around loved ones, waiting for the perfect time to rip them to shreds
One by one, they'll take away everyone you hold dear, and when you're at your lowest, they'll come for you
#vss365 #vsshorror
His sideshow always managed to #fascinate all who saw it
Despite what people said, everyone seemed to enjoy Freak Shows
Gilliam was proud of what it all, especially since the attractions were homemade
Without many mutations to be found, he had to make them himself, by force
#vss365 #vsshorror
The accusations created a #tempest of intense emotions
This culminated in the killing of an innocent woman
They were foolish to believe they could bury the body and live with their guilt
Their deed had brought back something ancient, and none of them would be living for long
#vss365 #vsshorror
She was #frustrated by all the doubters and misogynists who said a woman could never be head of the studio
So she set out to prove them wrong
And bit by bit she made her way to the top, all while disposing of everyone who stood in her way
Thirteen pigs the world would not miss
#vss365 #vsshorror
They all but #endorsed the wealthy by allowing them to drive everyone else into poverty
Their final mistake was using lethal force to put down a protest done by the poor
The night after the massacre, those who had been slayed came back to rip apart every single person in power

Mad cat! Mad cat! Fangs!
Pointed teeth recede with pets -
Vampurrs need love too!

He didn't #waver, even with all the screaming
His objective was absolute
He needed thirteen bodies, and then unimaginable power would be his
Those on the school bus were simply a means to an end for him
Their cries for mercy fell on deaf ears
#vss365 #vsshorror
The #divide between people isn't as large as most would assume
Pitted against the most extreme of conditions, individuals end up working together quite well
I would say 7 out of 10 times they survive my experiments
The other 30 percent were just dead weight on society
#vss365 #vsshorror
It was #overcast the day I buried her
There's something poetic about it being that way on the day I bring her back
I know you don't care about that detail, and I get it
You'll be dead in a few minutes, so no need to worry about anything else
#vss365 #vsshorror
The creatures did not arrive without warning
The leaders had plenty of intell and knew well in advance of their arrival
Instead of taking decisive action, they chose to #meditate on how to handle things
While the citizens were being slaughtered they were drafting proclamations

preacher man came off
as old timey
country
not well studied in theology
he never ended a word
with pure consonants
twas always
an added vowel sound
it sometimes
made the congregation
wonder Y
he was so fire & brimstone
until the day he spoke clearly
& they were burned alive
