A Halloween treat dedicated to "Southern Comfort".who scared the pee doddles out of me with Her Demon triology
I found myself walking Though the darkness Of a forest Silvery moonbeams from a full moon Prepared my way in a darken path. My vision seemed intensified A vapor like mist Softly covered my surrounding Emitting from the warm ground. I can hear sound with great clarity I am able to smell The blood rushing through The veins Of a creature by the lake. I stealthily crouched Low to the ground on my fours Instantly I was in a stalking mode Ready to pounce upon my prey, I looked towards The autumn drying leaves That adorned the forest floor Making sure My hand did not snap a twig I see to my amazement A huge wolf’s paw Instead of my hand Oh my God! I screamed within myself Fearing scaring the prey away My hunger is over powering I crave fresh flesh I thirst for warm blood To satisfy my every desire. Without a sound, I leap From ambush Immediately sinking my Saliva dripping fangs Deep into it’s throat Ripping away the jugular Blood gushing with a Flavorable Taste. Devour it as I ravish It’s tender flesh Drowning my thirst With warn steaming blood. I ate my fill Hollered at the moon Felt drowsy, for I glutton My prey I stealthily slinked Back to what I thought Was My “Den” The warm sun Shone upon my face Something seemed gravely Out of place I felt sticky, dirty and smelly I looked at my hands The bed and silken sheets All were covered in blood A foul smell came out of my mouth It stank of death. As I stared into the mirror At beastly blood shot eyes A mask of blood I wore The radio alarm Sounded the local news About a female game warden Attacked near the lake By what was believed To have been An escaped wild beast Her body ripped to shreds The horrific stare on her face Said it all She died a horrible death.

But who says you are that beast; maybe you had a humungous order of french fries with lots of katsup...a tumble you may have took, hence all the supposed bloody mess...case closed, my bill is already in the mail...ed (that foul stench in your mouth could just be that burger you ate with those fries)
