Have
you ever had a dream you thought for
sure was real? I have, accept when I woke up the monsters
didn't disappear. My monsters waved hello and went about their normal
lives...they are real...and I'm one of
them.
I
can see the souls of the dead, and I assure you they aren't pretty. The dead are
terrifying, wandering between the mortal
world and the Otherside until I can release them. I
need to travel to the land of the dead...to find a killer, and save a friend. But ghosts aren't
the only things that can hurt me, other beings, reside within the realm. The
distance between my friends and I grows larger as my trip draws
near.
I am trying to keep a foot in both worlds but realize too late, that I don’t really
belong in either. I am alone, and the only way to keep them all safe is
to stay that way, but love sometimes has other plans for us. And as the saying
goes...the path to hell is paved with
good intentions, and hell itself...is full of none.
But it sure is beautiful.
Dead Silence
The dead don't
speak, but they want to be found,
they wait in the the shadows of this life till I
release their earthly bounds,
they'll roam in
silent agony waiting just for me,
one touch is all it
takes to finally set their spirits free,
a flash of their
last moments, a pull of rotting flesh,
is all I have to
guide me on this true and noble quest,
the forest is my
playground, the hounds my faithful friends,
they are my only
companions in the silence of the dead.
