I Am Monster

By Malcholm Dark

Tonight I walk
Within the shadows
Music in my head
That 'empty street' song
Dark streets
Silent streets
Dirty--desolate
My streets!

He steps out
They step out
I am surrounded
Eight wild dogs
They want money
My valuables
My life
Back against the wall!

Guns--knives--pipes
Welcome to my world
I smile and laugh
My eyes turn red
My fangs elongate
Long deadly claws
Screams fill the night
I take--shred--feed!

Some escape me
Run rabbit, run
They run aimlessly
Head-long into fear
I hunt
I take
I kill
I feed!

Tonight I walk
Music in my head
That 'empty street' song
Alone I walk
Within the shadows
I am hunter
I am nightmare
I am monster!

A former member wrote: The Power emitted in this piece is astonishing, especially in the line "My Streets!" as if you own the night and it's inhabitants. Were you being a Vampire or a werewolf or just a general monster, just one thing I was trying to work out. Brilliant piece, write on.

Great write again Dark, it's funny that the guys that got killed are usually the ones I say "I don't want to run into in a dark alley" lol. There's a lesson here, don't mess with random strangers or they will morph into a monster and destroy you. Thanks for sharing.
