Within
darkness under the cover of night my tears gently dripped down onto
her worn grave, and with bleeding filthy hands I continued desperately,
whipped up now within a mad frenzy to dig and claw at the upper soil
of her grave, and through the sound of my heart beating loudly within
my feeble chest I could hear my long lost dear beloved moaning, and
screaming for escape from far far below, a sound I could not quite believe,
for I must be in a dream, but the pain in my bloody fingers was most
definitely all to real. My love has returned to me, I knew she would,
but after all this time, all these long lonely years, I never thought
it truly possible, but the dark one did promise me, and I knew he the
prince of darkness would never let me down, he told me on the night
of all hallows that she would return and that under the power of the
dark one she would rise again.
Eternity, it seemed like an eternity before I reached at last the soft
rotting wood of her coffin, the screaming and muling now much, much
louder and fear like electricity shuddered through my body from head
to toe, and now even more quickly almost in a sort of rage I tore at
the soft yielding boards that had held my loved one away from me for
much too long.
Praise him, praise him, I chanted within my mind as I tore of the remaining
boards and peered into an even deeper darkness, a darkness that could
only be the darkness of the grave. Paralysis, I became paralyzed with
fear because there before me riving and bucking frothing from a rotten
and torn maggot-ridden face my long lost beloved was in throws of ecstasy
entwined with something that I can only describe as possessing the body
of a pig and the face of a dirty wrinkled leering old man, but what
really sent me into the abyss of insanity was what lay to either side
of the entwined loving couple, and this was the young ones who had obviously
been born from what was once my lovely wife, they were smooth-faced
creatures, a pure white, with what I can only describe as a gnashing
maw-like mouth, filled to the brim with razor-sharp teeth they advanced
upon me.
They squealed when they saw me and they leaped from her grave as I tumbled
in massive shock backwards, in a flash they were upon me squirming into
my gaping screaming mouth and wriggling down my tight throat...tearing
chunks of my flesh as they made there way toward my now paralyzed heart.
My heart they picked and licked at like it was some delicacy, and then
after a short while they carried it gently down in to the darkness of
my wife’s grave, fresh sustenance for their mother and father.
