Deceived

Contributed by bobotheclown on Saturday, 18th January 2003 @ 02:40:00 PM in AEST
Topic: mystical



Hiding amongst the sun bleached rocks
Pale, lucid eyes stare hidden
Out of hardened, angry faces
Scrambling about, shrunken bellies
Howling for food in this bleak wilderness

A lone rider appears
On a weary, forgotten horse
He hails the odd inhabitants
And asks for lodging and food
They show no emotion their beady eyes tell all
Their slimy fingers stroke the rocks lustily
Beckoning the rider in

He dines with them
Whatever rotten morsel they can spare
He falls into a deadened sleep
They watch him almost like their cursed
Their padded feet slap the floor
Like their addicted, trancelike
To watching him sleep

He wakes with a cough
Unable to move his limbs
His panic bound eyes rove about
He can see his breath
He's their meal now
They dine on him
His supple raw body
Torn apart by their fangs
His blood will forever grace and torment their halls
