      <title>Poem: Truth by Dillon (Blood Tears)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Like a drug, so addicting <br />
The rush, the release, the warmth<br />
I thought I could stop as I pleased<br />
Oh, was I wrong<br />
1 turned to 2 which turned to 3, 4<br />
You cannot stop<br />
It burns deep inside you<br />
The most primal, most animalistic, most real<br />
It&#039;s inside everyone, you are just too weak so see<br />
This void inside my body that needs to be filled<br />
Death<br />
Death is life<br />
All I do is assist life by becoming death<br />
Bathing in it<br />
My need to kill<br />
Our need to kill<br />
We all feel it, but you are too scared to act<br />
&quot;Animals&quot; they call us, not even human<br />
But how can such a beautiful, natural, thing be so hated<br />
The weak<br />
The scared<br />
Must be vanquished <br />
Only those worthy <br />
Worthy of the blood<br />
The warmth, the life of one being taken by another<br />
You cannot stop once you start<br />
The hunger grows <br />
The need to bathe<br />
The need to feast<br />
It is true love<br />
It is true life<br />
The love of death and murder <br />
To be covered in blood<br />
Ah, I&#039;m joking I promise<br />Tags: <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/poems/tag/Psychopath">Psychopath</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/poems/tag/murder">Murder</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/poems/tag/death">Death</a>]]></description>

      <title>Poem: Blood by Dillon (Blood Tears)</title>
      <description><![CDATA[So red so warm<br />
This life force I adore<br />
We bleed we cry<br />
But God I want more<br />
From my first I knew this was for me<br />
Human beings were made for me<br />
The blood<br />
So sweet<br />
So pure<br />
The way it pools<br />
The way it runs<br />
Tastes so sweet, this angels nectar<br />
I would live in blood<br />
It&#039;s my addiction<br />
Feeling, playing with it<br />
Oh blood is my way<br />
My dark fantasy<br />
My fetish<br />
My mistress<br />
Blood is her name<br />
I bathe in it<br />
I taste it<br />
I always try to find more<br />
I cannot stop<br />
When I close my eyes all I see is telling sweet red<br />
I thirst for it<br />
I need it<br />
The most beautiful thing on earth<br />
The best<br />
What was your life<br />
I&#039;ll drink it off tell floor<br />
You whole life pools slowly away<br />
My whole love pours on out<br />
Your so beautiful<br />
Your so addicting<br />
But I need to remember<br />
Blood get in everything<br />
It&#039;s hard to get out<br />Tags: <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/poems/tag/Blood">Blood</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/poems/tag/psychopath">Psychopath</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/poems/tag/graphic">Graphic</a>]]></description>

      <title>Poem: I'm fine - just tired by Leigha Redmond</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Suffocating, she can&#039;t catch her breath<br />
Panicking, she grasping for anything to prevent this death<br />
Shrieking, she&#039;s screaming in fear<br />
She&#039;s afraid of everything that is near<br />
Alone, she&#039;s so alone but there are so many people standing in her presence <br />
But amongst them she feels like she&#039;s not in existence <br />
No one understands her depression <br />
On the outside they see a very different perception <br />
They look at her ever so lovely smile<br />
Their knees buckle at her laugh they can hear for a mile<br />
Her beauty so strong it makes others so weak<br />
Her hair, her complexion always so sleek <br />
Her radiance just lightens the room<br />
Her presence always in full bloom<br />
You never would have guessed that underneath it all<br />
Is a girl that stands only two inches tall<br />
Sunken in such miserable pain<br />
Anguished her heart is already slain<br />
Her beauty that she can&#039;t see <br />
Thoughts swirling that she can&#039;t set free<br />
Searching and searching for a way to evade<br />
That&#039;s the first time she picked up the blade<br />
Dragging it across her skin with such precision <br />
A rush of relief in this one incision<br />
Again and again, each time feeling a release<br />
At last, a few precious moments of peace<br />
Unable to explain the joy that she feels<br />
She drags the blade over and over with thrill<br />
Addicted she becomes to the freedom she receives <br />
This is the only way she believes <br />
Motivated by those moments she felt<br />
She found her way to deal with the disease she was dealt <br />
Disapproving eyes judge her scars<br />
Not looking past into her memoirs <br />
She doesn&#039;t care, she will do it again<br />
Despite being told self harm is a sin<br />
She will cut and cut until it ends <br />
Rather it be the pain or her life that suspends<br />
<br />
The moral of the story is do not judge<br />
Look deep down inside her and find the trudge<br />
The long path that lead her to this pivotal place<br />
Try understanding the circumstances that put her in this space<br />
Read her, she&#039;s an open book<br />
It&#039;s up to you to open the binding and take a look<br />
What are you afraid of, the story you may find?<br />
Or the backlash for not seeing the warning signs?<br />
Step back, take the time, make it right, help her back <br />
Back to a place she deserves to be<br />
Happy, healthy, and set free<br />Tags: <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/poems/tag/depression">Depression</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/poems/tag/insanity">Insanity</a>]]></description>

      <title>Poem: Cemetary by Mario Vitale</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Cemetary<br />
Dark fixed at night to fright in deep consciousness flight<br />
<br />
Gone in desperation quick fix to hide inside pain<br />
In heated pleasure silenced to a slow pitch<br />
Slowly<br />
In fetters sought with creatures among lines drawn in features<br />
<br />
Cemetary<br />
<br />
Dark in dusk who do we trust<br />
Blackened stench in negate trench<br />
A trance sold out advance per chance<br />
In limestone some engrafted in time<br />
<br />
A warm encounter with ghost sublime<br />
<br />
Fought back the tears to hide the pain<br />
Along lines asunder totally insane filled in dreams slight scream with Summer&#039;s rain<br />
Eyes filled up with coffins chill in brain<br />
Suffering chill down spine through a collapsed dispare<br />
<br />
Cemetary<br />
An eagle fly&#039;s above shelter lies dormant amidst the pain<br />
Not some door mat bent on any high healed excursion<br />
In the pit of silence nursed back the tear of ellusive hate<br />
<br />
Cemetary<br />
We carry dreams filled with timeless fragmentation in ellusive lines filled in imagination<br />
Carry me further down by the river pilgrims process shelter lieth dormant<br />
Amidst modest apparell to appease the night in sullen asps in seperation into a vile <br />
cavity;<br />
<br />
Chaste impulse that derives an analogy sullen fragments<br />
Cemetary very scarey even if your in the weary<br />
Trampled back its timeless clause by impulse an explosion of applause<br />
Cemetary<br />
<br />
Having long hanging viscious fangs that bite in the night to fright<br />
A shout of intense madness filled with sadness<br />
Shadows fixed within timeless clause<br />
A plausible cue toward a viable loss...<br />Tags: <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/poems/tag/hate">Hate</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/poems/tag/fake">Fake</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/poems/tag/darkness">Darkness</a>]]></description>

      <title>Poem: Tombstones For Eyes by Mario Vitale</title>
      <description><![CDATA[We search for solace amidst the crowd to appease<br />
 One day we shall all bow humbly to our knees<br />
 The land is dark without the sun to light<br />
 When this life is over there is no double feature<br />
 Shades of black decorated the plate of mast<br />
 Silence etched it&#039;s beckoning call asunder<br />
 Tombstones for eyes does this come at a big surprise<br />
 Can&#039;t we ever see through the devil&#039;s lies<br />
 We live in a land where cash is king<br />
 No chance at heart to let the freedom ring<br />
 In silence we get a glimpse of what it is to come<br />
 Blackened hearts of evil that plug destruction<br />
 We used to live in freedom&#039;s realm<br />
 That was so long ago another theatre with a lost film<br />
 Rather there is glue on the stick that is nothing new<br />
 A borrowed pew to offer sacrifices to the Lord<br />
 The faces with tombstones for eyes having long fangs that bite<br />
 They search for blood in the dead of night<br />
 Walking zombies seeking self to please<br />
 They cry for peace yet their hearts are frozen<br />
 Living in their fake mechanical world of temporary<br />
 You search for blood out on the street exchange love for lust<br />
 Two hearts that soar out to the sky a happy passerby<br />
 They are amng us yet they are not of us<br />

      <title>Poem: Gothic Darkness by Mario Vitale</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Pillars in light fashionable decorum sets the standard<br />
 Those high rise structures with heavenly interior<br />
 The holy oblation lead to the ultimate construction<br />
 In matters of trust we can maintain a humane aura<br />
 A heart that devised the good of humanities stake &amp; claim<br />
 An old lady named Grier used to live in it&#039;s dwelling<br />
 A structure well kept yet needs a fix up with the plumbing<br />
 Grier used to frequent her yard with it&#039;s barbed wire fence<br />
 Tragedy had claimed her late husband&#039;s life that left her alone<br />
 She carries on with a smile in her lone desolation<br />
 A mere place for rest like a long awaited vacation<br />
 With sincere love in her heart she would often sing<br />
 Letting in the sunshine inside her brilliant dwelling<br />
 A noted poet herself used to write to her hearts content<br />
 The fashion of her study was filled with perfume &amp; appeal<br />
 Stacks of books lined the way the went to her parlor<br />
 She made music in her head as she was getting ready to sleep<br />
 A sincere whisper of gratitude would always be nestled at her feet<br />
 For Grier was living smooth to the natural eye<br />
 Sought back the pain from within with a simple sigh<br />
 She dedicates her home to the loving hands of almighty God<br />
 Enough to give her courage amidst a darkened cloud<br />
 Silently awaits the true love to come through the door<br />
 A beacon of light to a much hurting world in need<br />
 Soft lace now decorates the rug with plush moderation<br />
 A sip of tea will bring forth a new year&#039;s resolution<br />

      <title>Poem: Deadly Bean-site Coffee by Robin Carretti</title>
      <description><![CDATA[How she sucked every last bean <br />
the blackest meanest Goth. <br />
She froze with terror the color spilled deep Darth. <br />
And next to her was a big burly Football player.<br />
<br />
Sipping her erotically boiling coffee.<br />
He&#039;s the slayer.<br />
Her body deadly slim he played her<br />
 She kept to herself not wanting to speak to him.<br />
She could have blasted his balls within.<br />
These guys did horrible things to those girls.<br />
<br />
Mixing your blood a whirl and a dead Girl<br />
 twirl deep red swirl.<br />
 What Coffee sin&#039;s he possessed them?<br />
 Likewise the &quot;Dark Reaper&quot;.<br />
 He spilled her coffee beans.<br />
He black fishnets smelled like liquor<br />
 How it melted her like Lava<br />
 meeting her &quot;Dead Man&quot; waiter<br />
How it spread through his pants. <br />
<br />
He&#039;s monstrous creature loud vulgar grunts. <br />
He became faceless every hell under feature.<br />
Went dark and dead she felt her coffee smoking <br />
on his weed head wicked bean inside his pants<br />
The movies creepy dark eyes fall out stunts<br />
More grunts face boiling so hot darkest of hours? <br />
The steam got sickly stuffy.<br />
<br />
Her computer and coffee he came like hard taffy.<br />
 On the window sill, she took another deadly pill.<br />
<br />
 So waiting and anticipating the field what&#039;s next?<br />
 She saw the test sign it said Help Coffee screwball.<br />
He was still with his football blinded by her love<br />
Other men came forward all exposed in Darkness<br />
 Came out of hiding no shield.<br />
 <br />
That bad to the bone coffee what a stinger epilepsy. <br />
So drugged the coffee she&#039;s tipsy.<br />
Her headbanging in the field more was hanging.<br />
 Such uncontrollable head convulsions.<br />
The darkest of hell persuasions.<br />
 She was sucked into his game. Going home she could sense<br />
<br />
  &quot;Dead Sugar Mummy&quot; dearest. <br />
<br />
Her  Black cracked tricky porn Full lips <br />
Humanitarian she was the black coffee psycho sips of the<br />
 sanitarium.<br />
 She charged out he was blackmailed.<br />
Goth fucking system failed.<br />
Her black Coffee erotica-creepy 4 1 chosen<br />
 deadly sip.<br />
Bad spell instinctual cup ritual black rose.<br />
 Barista hot Vampire pose<br />
Whose the fuck who is doing this?<br />
 let&#039;s be realistic? <br />
Leaving people sadistically flying.<br />
<br />
 How she was weaving, though, his tattoo skin. <br />
Such boiling bean &quot;Tied up Web&quot;<br />
Creeping into his coffee way down in hell wake up!<br />
I&#039;m darkness and you are becoming so deadly<br />
ass worthless.<br />
<br />
She was tumbling spatted out like a dead black cat.<br />
The paint was dripping splat coffee<br />
 &quot;Hell-Demented Coach&quot; <br />
Her darkness sleeping well in your fucking cave. <br />
Like a Kangaroo pouch<br />
Never to be saved. He left you crawling<br />
Killing you softly cockroaches.<br />
<br />
Remaining of his ashes she left in her<br />
 Goth boiling pot mansion.<br />
But the ritual&#039;s dark scheming cults<br />
 bite me hard fashion.<br />
They were lovers of the darkness, erotically<br />
 touched by the demon.<br />
Can you handle my torture just die hard? <br />
He covered me Goth nailed gloves.<br />
Burning incense of poison cloves.<br />
<br />
The black jacket sympathetic hearts of mates<br />
She the Lady of darkness open spilled<br />
 blood sucked into her mouth.<br />
He circled her smoke turned into a blackout.<br />
She&#039;s on to me devil made me screw it.<br />
 <br />
Her bean lover blew it<br />
She was stuck in &quot;Vampire Transylvania&quot;<br />
 time.<br />
<br />
His Blood what a hell-raiser crime <br />
She was the Coffee neck biter. <br />
How he sucked on her deadly bean <br />
eyes are drawn in <br />
Those coffee beans kept slaved in 7 deadly sins.<br />
 He&#039;s bringing my last deadly coffee black cat<br />
Thirteen wicked chat&#039;s Grunge on.<br />
A thrust deadly weight of a hard on<br />
<br />
  She sipped her dark iced coffee deadly awake.<br />
 looking at his nails of fangs the chill<br />
He called her the phone rang.Popping more pills.<br />
How the &quot;Coffee international Vampire bars<br />
<br />
 M for Master and W for Widow. B-M-W<br />
 This is B for bean boiling. At the end his knife? <br />
The star of Porn coffee brutal life.<br />
Falling into Vampirism stake?<br />
There was nothing of realism to make.<br />
That black muddy coffee whose to blame.<br />
<br />
 Whoa! her chosen dead bean&#039;s what a high rise<br />
This is her&quot;Sticky Buns&quot; Just roast up and run.<br />
This was not getting better two I deadly rings.<br />
The dark spider Apple tunes. Crawling<br />
Their resting in the coffin house Babes crib.<br />
Adam and Eve tainted terror my coffee beans.<br />
So deep in the grind, he smashed her in the tub.<br />

      <title>Poem: Prisoner by Afrin Farhana</title>
      <description><![CDATA[In this dark cage of Lies,<br />
I&#039;m dangerously trapped inside.<br />
The butterflies have flown away,<br />
No longer does this soul sway.<br />
Anger, Pains, Hatred,<br />
Now my heart is left damaged.<br />
Deception, Betrayal, Lies were thrust upon,<br />
Still a mask of happiness I put on.<br />
Agony, Depression, Insanity I try to hide,<br />
All the blames are killing me inside.<br />
Lying dead I stare at the gleaming stars,<br />
Trapped inside my mind&#039;s prison bars.<br />
By the chains of failure I&#039;m suffocating,<br />
Yet trying to cope up with pains so excruciating.<br />
Do you know what happens when I&#039;m insane ?<br />
The Demon takes over my body and eats up my brain.<br />
A Demon so vicious and crazy,<br />
Harms this body till my soul gets hazy.<br />
Trapped inside this body that doesn&#039;t reel,<br />
Imprisoned here against my will.<br />
No choice my own,<br />
I see people they frown.<br />
Drowning in a darkness of deep despair,<br />
Believing the lies I hear,<br />
And seeing truths not there.<br />
Bring me to the surface,<br />
Give me air to breathe so solace.<br />
Let me see the morrow,<br />
Upon my broken dreams so sorrow.<br />Tags: <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/poems/tag/emo">Emo</a>]]></description>

      <title>Poem: Ebony Shell by Afrin Farhana</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Walking through this dark concrete forest,<br />
Feeling those heavy stones on my chest,<br />
Slowing me down, down and down;<br />
In this dark of night, I&#039;m the only one on the prowl.<br />
The sinners crawl,<br />
As the darkness falls,<br />
&quot;Hello, Hello, Remember me? <br />
I&#039;m everything you can&#039;t control.&quot;<br />
Fallen Angels at my feet,<br />
Whispering voices as my wrists are slit;<br />
She beckons me, shall I give in?<br />
Upon my end, shall I begin?<br />
Death before my eyes,<br />
Those groans you hear, aren&#039;t my lies.<br />
I&#039;m frightened by what I see,<br />
Knowing there&#039;s much more to come to pierce me.<br />
Immobilized by my fears,<br />
And soon to be blinded by tears.<br />
Lost from within; persuing the end,<br />
Fighting for the chance to be lied to again.<br />
Lost in a dying world,<br />
I reach for something more.<br />
And all alone, speaking to the atmosphere,<br />
I fall into myself as noone&#039;s here.<br />
I have grown so weary of this lie I live,<br />
Hoping somewhere beyond the pain there must be a way to believe.<br />
I&#039;m standing on the edge; embracing my fate,<br />
Death is near and it won&#039;t be too late.<br />
Till then I&#039;ll haunt through this fiery road of hell,<br />
Spreading darkness through my ebony shell.<br />Tags: <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/poems/tag/death">Death</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/poems/tag/dark">Dark</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/poems/tag/alone">Alone</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/poems/tag/pain">Pain</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/poems/tag/dark+soul">Dark Soul</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/poems/tag/gothic">Gothic</a>]]></description>

      <title>Poem: Cursed by Mario Vitale</title>
      <description><![CDATA[A heart can bleed an evil deed<br />
<br />
Yet in nature lie dormant after the fall<br />
A return to fear after all<br />
The climatic edge toward their own demise<br />
Still a word to the wise<br />
<br />
Cursed<br />
A sin will always find you out<br />
This ought to give the sinner something to bitch &amp; pout<br />
To light a flame in shouts of anguish after the fall<br />
<br />
Barbed wire fences social advances &amp; no it alls<br />
Search for words left unaided in its time<br />
The curb of enthusiasm and the sublime<br />
In anguish the soul longs for rest<br />
<br />
In being cursed with fear to never have rest<br />
<br />
In anguish the appease of the blind<br />
<br />
We live for vile excess<br />
<br />
Still a challenge to be free is a quest for time...<br />
To travel alone amidst darkened caverns with portals of instant doom<br />
We have relatives that beg of you to clean your room<br />
This does nothing to stregnthen the heart<br />
<br />
To light the spark to what it was I have been waiting for<br />
Vengence is mine the Lord will repay<br />
Giving papal homage in which to bow the knee to pray<br />
In papal square thwart in fear<br />
<br />
An ego scream to shed a single tear<br />
Yet no need to fear in which to hide<br />
Along the garb of social compromise<br />
A word from the wise<br />
<br />
I shed a single tear to numb its inner pain<br />
Yet not having her in my arms was driving me totally insane!<br />
Cursed be the man or woman who will take no heed<br />
To revere a sovereign Lord in which took the blows<br />
<br />
The blood soaked sweat on his brow in timeless appease of want<br />
No where to lie his head in homage toward the dead<br />
Cursed is the one who will not be blessed<br />
Our blessed Lord once again is putting you to the ultimate test<br />
<br />
An eagle will fly through the sky in sense of direction<br />
A hero&#039;s reflection in never second guessing<br />
A heart that is fixed on the natural will never succeed so take heed!<br />
Cursed is every man that hangs on the tree<br />
<br />
Please let this be me?<br />Tags: <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/poems/tag/minds">Minds</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/poems/tag/evil">Evil</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/poems/tag/hate">Hate</a>]]></description>

      <title>Story: EVIL BLESSING by J Payette</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Within a mansion where George Hearn was recently hired, a girl not quite living drifted toward him in the form of a mist. Lovely was her voice as she spoke to him and soon he followed her wispy form to the second floor of the great house, pausing at the door which she said was her room, the very room where the old lady who owned the place slept. <br />
<br />
Her lovely voice said, Come to me.<br />
<br />
He didn&rsquo;t know her words registered in his mind, not in the fabric of the air. &ldquo;Where did you go,&rdquo; he asked, &ldquo;why can&rsquo;t I see you anymore?&rdquo;<br />
<br />
The real me is on the other side of the door, and I am oh so lonely.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;But this is Ruth&rsquo;s bedroom. Do you want to get me fired?&rdquo;<br />
<br />
Oh no, not for anything in the world. Don&rsquo;t worry. She sleeps with Prince Valium. You&rsquo;d have to shake her to wake her up.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Are you sure?&rdquo;<br />
<br />
Absolutely, it&rsquo;s perfectly safe.<br />
<br />
That&rsquo;s it, either he answers her summons or he doesn&rsquo;t. He turned the knob, opening the door which was light enough, wondering if he was out of his mind. George saw two things on the quick: the first was a gorgeous nude girl with her back to him, the second was the slack face of Ruth Kempter. Kempter had precedence. He shrank from the very idea of invading her bedroom, sticking out his neck as though for the headsman. He didn&rsquo;t even want to think what would happen if she awakened. That thought was signed, sealed, and deep-sixed. Ruth lay on an enormous fourposter bed, the pink curtains fastened by tiebacks. Ornate lilies were carved into the dark wood. Her face was unusually smooth for her advanced age and yet somehow forlorn, a lean trickle of saliva made a path from the corner of her loose mouth, wetting her weathered arm which supported her head on the pillow. She didn&rsquo;t snore but the bedding over her stomach moved regular and slow. He exhaled, not realizing that he&rsquo;d been holding his breath.<br />
<br />
George closed the entrance quietly; the latch, oiled and in sound condition, slid into place.<br />
<br />
Now he could afford to devour the girl. Lord have mercy she was beautiful. Her hair had a resplendence that was very close to glistening gold, a cascade of curls offset by other streams cut in a seemingly random pattern, though no hair was out of place. She stood very still in her splendor. Three gallery lights, angled from above in their tracks, illuminated her so attentively that the rest of the room appeared dead by comparison. He ignored all but her, and although she was not completely washed by the light, where the lamps chose to bathe her, her skin had the shine of milky satin under the sun. <br />
<br />
George dearest, this is me.<br />
<br />
She posed before the sleeping woman, still not moving, posed so that one graceful arm was lifted forward to begin a gentle stroll, the other slightly to the rear as if to complete the motion. He looked down at her feet. She was raised six inches by a pedestal.<br />
<br />
A woman can live and yet not live, my George. She can damn herself out of her vanity and weep where there is not comfort. The sculptor did not flatter me. This is my image at the age of nineteen. This has been my vessel for thirty-four years. I used to shatter hearts. I would date a man, only to dump him when I thought there was someone better. I didn&rsquo;t care. I&rsquo;d do it again and again, but none was ever good enough. They adored me and I gave them wreckage. But who was to salvage me?<br />
<br />
She was playing a joke; there were minuscule hairs on her back, her arms, and the lights reflected off them as effervescent little prisms. No statue was ever this alive. She would move in a minute. He was willing to wait, examining her magnificent curves, her ankles rising to well-proportioned calves, the calves melding to knees which were not gapped, fitting together perfectly.<br />
<br />
May God forgive me, but I am still vain. Even as I am, I adore the thrill when a man looks at me longer than he should, the way he sneaks glances to make sure we are alone, the way he touches me. I can feel the faintest touch and it&rsquo;s maddening. Am I horrible?<br />
<br />
If she had been ardent about his physique, her comely derriere sent him past the gates of heaven. A preacher might gag but he would much rather revere her firm cheeks, which were rounded like honeydew melons, a deep cleft between them to emphasize their firmness. He would rather worship this than an unseen deity. Perhaps one day he&rsquo;d burn for that one. Perhaps. But for sure he would burn without it. He began to walk around her, waiting for her to break her pose, noting long thighs that begged to be kissed. He barely heard her words.<br />
<br />
We all have our silly dreams, I think. Mine is to be whole again, to live freely. I&rsquo;d welcome my birthdays until my vanity had gone, along with my looks. Maybe a man would love me and, with his years, wouldn&rsquo;t mind my ruin. We could rest on a park bench. We could talk about funny little things that only we knew. He could look at the pretty girls. I wouldn&rsquo;t care for I&rsquo;d do the same with the boys, and we&rsquo;d pretend they passed, unnoticed.<br />
<br />
And so that&rsquo;s me, George. I&rsquo;m pretty and I&rsquo;m horrible. I tell truths and the opposite and I connive like a bitch. I have room for lust but none for pride. What have I done to be proud of? I don&rsquo;t pretend to have shame. I can talk like this because tomorrow you won&rsquo;t remember a thing.<br />
<br />
He gazed at the tuft between her legs, noting that unlike the current fashion she didn&rsquo;t trim the edges. There was no requirement anyway. She had a natural, pleasing diamond shape. She was also a natural blond.<br />
<br />
My silly man, are you listening?<br />
<br />
No, he was not. Her words skipped like a flat rock hydroplaning over an idle lake, leaving negligible ripples behind. He drank her in while she continued this silly game of standing still, his eyes drifting from her pubis to her navel, rising to the perfected beauty of her breasts, the very ones guaranteed to drive him mad.<br />
<br />
George!<br />
<br />
In a moment he would cup them, in a moment but why hurry? It was so hot for her to remain as she was while he took her in. Surely she saw the look in his eyes. Her neck resembled that of a model, thin and a bit high, and was straight with the delicacy of youth.<br />
<br />
Stop it right now, you idiot!<br />
<br />
Was she blabbering something? Did it matter? He&rsquo;d kiss her neck first. See how long she could stand that! Make it nice and lingering. Let his tongue trace its way down her throat, feeling the sharp intake of her breath. He could hardly wait. His eyes continued looking up and she made some kind of screeching noise but he wasn&rsquo;t about to stop. He passed chin and killer lips and then her scream did get through just before the slam of the most scintillating green eyes he had ever seen. Like incandescence they burst into him and he had to break away as his heart betrayed him with a hard, single thump that threatened to be his last. But it wasn&rsquo;t. An after-image of her sensuous mouth had simultaneously seared itself into his memory, and the resultant strike gave him no choice but to snap his eyes shut as if cracked by a whip.<br />
<br />
And yet part of him yearned for more.<br />
<br />
&lsquo;Young, dumb, and full of cum.&rsquo; She sounded tired, worn, resigned. Come, my George.<br />
<br />
He was reeling on his feet and didn&rsquo;t see the air above wisp into a cloud and begin drifting down to settle about him, and nowhere else. He was not aware of her enveloping need as such, but he did know a shiver when she whispered toward the auricles and ventricles of his heart. She murmured sweet nothings from his ear to his brain, which couldn&rsquo;t compare to the love she had for the contact of his body. She lied with great sincerity when his lids moistened, as his eyes glazed over, and promised the delight of refulgent pleasures, both spoken and unspoken, normal and forbidden. Pleasures to crave but wise to shun, for never once did she mention the price of the ticket. Her offer was a bouquet, slow-acting but oh so good.<br />
<br />
Come and breathe me.<br />
<br />
No, said the remnant of a flicker.<br />
<br />
His reply changed nothing. He would lose tonight, like the night before, and before, and before . . .<br />
<br />
The wisp gathered in the direction of his resting mouth and clear nose, gathered as it collected into a denser form. It abandoned the balance of his person as unimportant. It condensed and where it came to rest, it remained patiently to be drawn. His breathing was not affected when he inhaled the essence of Belladonna, pretty lady, perfume of nightshade. She was sweet in the humidity of his lungs, kind to the tissues that welcomed her, and gentle to every cell she hushed into a comfortable sleep. Pliant he was as she permeated him more effectively than the presence of oxygen, huntress of the night diffused into delectable George.<br />
<br />
And in the moment when she awakened him, George knew he would someday come to her, consumed with desire as much as she, and hold the mounds of her backside while he sealed his mouth over her lips and greedily sucked her. A handsome man, a solid man lowered his head like a marionette, and his fingers writhed as if inhabited by snakes. The belt of his robe began to loosen by itself and he knew what he wanted her to do.<br />
<br />
Touch me, my dear George.<br />
<br />
His hands were her hands; his lust was her lust; they rode a crest together, rising as strong pectorals and hills, well swollen, were combined into standing waves.<br />
<br />
His hands lifted from his sides, hands with calluses and masculine strength, strength pulled to her nipples that were as sensitive as the cap of his penis. Whether he rubbed her or himself, it felt the same, was the same. He stayed with her and knew she was but wood, could be pinched very hard as there was not flesh to deform or bend. And she felt pleasure instead of pain, her nipples begging for more, and the more he pinched, the closer she came, they came.<br />
<br />
She was already groaning. Give it to me; give it to me now.<br />
<br />
His robe parted wide and something yanked his briefs down, and then writhed over the fuzz of his abdomen. He could take anything now, see anything now, he couldn&rsquo;t wait to come into her and merge.<br />
<br />
Look at me, my George; look and have what you want.<br />
<br />
He opened his eyes and was lost to sumptuous red, focused yet drowsy upon parted lips. He wanted to feel the kiss, share the kiss of connection, but all his mouth could do was open to the air. Her elegant cheeks, flaring exquisitely, ached to be stroked by his willing hand. It was not to be.<br />
<br />
My eyes, my eyes, look into my eyes. Don&rsquo;t stop; hurry!<br />
<br />
They were almost out of time. His eyes which would not obey him locked into the unending gaze of the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Her eyes were preternaturally lit from within, shimmering greenly with a touch of emerald fire, caring deeply for him and yet not, captivating far beyond the point of endurance. There was a fathomless depth here, drawing from him as though she could not possibly get enough but must get enough--a soul pulling from his core life and breath, not caring. In his mind he saw her head suddenly twitch like a woman under the influence of an electric current, and her eyes widened in surprise as if she had quite forgotten the phenomenal power of a man.<br />
<br />
Like a wrap she clung to him, her perfect lower teeth becoming more visible, an utterance forming from deep within her throat. Her hands released him from above in order to grab him below, and her voice dropped two octaves into a most unusual sound, a guttural moan which shook to the cadence of her hands. She took one long blink to savor the beauty of her pleasure, alive to how good it was and how bad it was; what she was doing and what she would soon be feeling, very soon now, the feeling of a conduit connected directly to his groin. Her voice rose as she sensed him quivering and the corners of her pretty lips flared into little peaks of victory, eyes fastened to eyes. Her dark pupils were enlarged with her craving, smoky embers of glory and ice. She heard a distant sound, up and off to an impossible scale, a voice too high for a man but too frenzied for a woman, the wailing of an animal in awful heat.<br />
<br />
His throat felt stuffed as though by the medium of cotton; he found it impossible to cry although he wanted to, ramming his penis forward to leave it there, a mindless organ spitting into her churning hands. Upon his shove an ancient spasm convulsed her so hard that her head snapped back and the whites of her eyes rocked up to be passed by her heavy lids coming down, and her red lips contorted like the pain of the gored. The shudder of pulsed rapture struck as waves from the very pit of her, and in that instant forced the cry of her unendurable pleasure to the four walls which were deaf to the sound of her ecstasy, the room only hearing the calm blanket of night.<br />
<br />
And through it all, past it all, there was a promise unkept. She had lied. All of this they knew as they imploded into a single fusion--her lies and meager good, his zest and attitude of a slut--they knew each other completely.<br />
<br />
And kept shuddering in place.<br />
<br />
#<br />
<br />
The room did not quell nor did the surface of the earth touch them in the long moments that followed. Her still form remained as it was, as it always was. A beautiful young woman about to take a walk, her chin high and body firm with the suggestion of toned muscle, perfect posture. Her nipples were as fresh as the day the sculptor had carved them, her figure clean as though painted yesterday. No sign of ejaculate was on her. In her heart there was a peace. She said nothing to George who now lodged within a special place she had fashioned for him, a dwelling of raven black which was brightened by her occasional aftershocks. They were few in number, but when they quaked it was like the roll of wicked thunder. She floated high and was far too filled with her pleasure to notice that the atmosphere of the bedroom had subtly altered. The older woman lying on the Lilium bed wasn&rsquo;t breathing deeply anymore.<br />
<br />
Ruth Kempter&rsquo;s eyes weren&rsquo;t focusing all that well, but she was alert enough to barely part her lashes. She studied the male who was breathing strangely, his robe still open.<br />Tags: <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/horror">Horror</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/paranormal">Paranormal</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/gothic">Gothic</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/alone">Alone</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/evil">Evil</a>]]></description>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Within a mansion where George Hearn was recently hired, a girl not quite living drifted toward him in the form of a mist. Lovely was her voice as she spoke to him and soon he followed her wispy form to the second floor of the great house, pausing at the door which she said was her room, the very room where the old lady who owned the place slept. <br />
<br />
Her lovely voice said, Come to me.<br />
<br />
He didn&rsquo;t know her words registered in his mind, not in the fabric of the air. &ldquo;Where did you go,&rdquo; he asked, &ldquo;why can&rsquo;t I see you anymore?&rdquo;<br />
<br />
The real me is on the other side of the door, and I am oh so lonely.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;But this is Ruth&rsquo;s bedroom. Do you want to get me fired?&rdquo;<br />
<br />
Oh no, not for anything in the world. Don&rsquo;t worry. She sleeps with Prince Valium. You&rsquo;d have to shake her to wake her up.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Are you sure?&rdquo;<br />
<br />
Absolutely, it&rsquo;s perfectly safe.<br />
<br />
That&rsquo;s it, either he answers her summons or he doesn&rsquo;t. He turned the knob, opening the door which was light enough, wondering if he was out of his mind. George saw two things on the quick: the first was a gorgeous nude girl with her back to him, the second was the slack face of Ruth Kempter. Kempter had precedence. He shrank from the very idea of invading her bedroom, sticking out his neck as though for the headsman. He didn&rsquo;t even want to think what would happen if she awakened. That thought was signed, sealed, and deep-sixed. Ruth lay on an enormous fourposter bed, the pink curtains fastened by tiebacks. Ornate lilies were carved into the dark wood. Her face was unusually smooth for her advanced age and yet somehow forlorn, a lean trickle of saliva made a path from the corner of her loose mouth, wetting her weathered arm which supported her head on the pillow. She didn&rsquo;t snore but the bedding over her stomach moved regular and slow. He exhaled, not realizing that he&rsquo;d been holding his breath.<br />
<br />
George closed the entrance quietly; the latch, oiled and in sound condition, slid into place.<br />
<br />
Now he could afford to devour the girl. Lord have mercy she was beautiful. Her hair had a resplendence that was very close to glistening gold, a cascade of curls offset by other streams cut in a seemingly random pattern, though no hair was out of place. She stood very still in her splendor. Three gallery lights, angled from above in their tracks, illuminated her so attentively that the rest of the room appeared dead by comparison. He ignored all but her, and although she was not completely washed by the light, where the lamps chose to bathe her, her skin had the shine of milky satin under the sun. <br />
<br />
George dearest, this is me.<br />
<br />
She posed before the sleeping woman, still not moving, posed so that one graceful arm was lifted forward to begin a gentle stroll, the other slightly to the rear as if to complete the motion. He looked down at her feet. She was raised six inches by a pedestal.<br />
<br />
A woman can live and yet not live, my George. She can damn herself out of her vanity and weep where there is not comfort. The sculptor did not flatter me. This is my image at the age of nineteen. This has been my vessel for thirty-four years. I used to shatter hearts. I would date a man, only to dump him when I thought there was someone better. I didn&rsquo;t care.

      <title>Poem: Love is pain. ...Pain is love by Leslie</title>
      <description><![CDATA[My life is no longer my own<br />
Controlled by forces out of my control<br />
Why did he hurt me, why did he cheat.<br />
I break down and cry...<br />
So many tears...so many tears.<br />
<br />
I yell why me, why again, please tell me<br />
All I hear is silence and the lightly blowing wind.<br />
<br />
I dream of a place high and far away<br />
A place where peace lives<br />
Where hurt cannot touch me.<br />
<br />
Tired of this life..death I embrace...<br />
<br />
Weak you think me<br />
Strong you think of you<br />
You speak as though you have lived my tribulations..<br />
And experienced what I&#039;ve been through.<br />
I am not weak, I am stronger then you.<br />
<br />
I embrace the darkness <br />
Hunger for the feel of deaths kiss<br />
Knowing peace will soon be mine atlast.<br />
You on the other hand, cry and mourn in self pity and fear<br />
When your death is advancing near, soon to come to pass.<br />
<br />
My only fear the only one... can God forgive me..can He understand,<br />
I do not wish to disobey him and commit mortal sin<br />
I hope He can understand this pain this sadness of this life <br />
It&#039;s just to much for me to live.<br />
<br />
Years of pain, millions of tears<br />
One weight to many on my shoulders to bear<br />
I am ready to pass over to whatever place lies beyond<br />

Darkness envelopes me, my body still and so very cold<br />
From above I see myself, I smile<br />

      <title>Story: MIDNIGHT WRESTLING by Robin Ray</title>
      <description><![CDATA[&ldquo;Pain favors the unfortunate but love favors the strong.&rdquo; For some unknown reason, those words echoed in Lorenzo &lsquo;Ren&rsquo; Castile&rsquo;s mind as he stood at the stainless steel paring table hacking pigs into manageable cuts on a walnut board with a cleaver. Wearing shiny, black, padded leather boots and a thick, black, plastic apron, the burly 24-year-old butcher&rsquo;s apprentice had been standing on his feet in the huge windowless freezer working for hours. The naked bodies of dead bovines and domestic pigs dangled from hooks everywhere in the cold metallic stall. His boss had given him the assignment of preparing the hogs for some impressive barbecue involving big shot actors and politicians over at the Waldorf Astoria. Was Ren invited to the shindig? Of course not. Why would anyone invite a high school dropout with a criminal record like his to such an impressive black tie event?<br />
 <br />
Ren knew from birth that he was given the short stick. A blind man could see he was doomed to a life of penury and injustice. When good looks were being given out, his name was inextricably erased from the list.  His father disappeared when he was two, and because he was an only child, there was no manly figure around to look up to. His mother was a drunk, never cared that he was always made fun of in school because he was the biggest student in his classes. It&rsquo;s a wonder, for his size, he didn&rsquo;t become a bully.<br />
 <br />
Years of ribbing and bad grades took its toll and, at 16, he quit school altogether and started working at various fast food joints. Always being mindful to punch their clocks on time, he never faltered at the grills when the clerks up front yelled, &ldquo;Cheese on twelve!&rdquo; or &ldquo;Extra pickles on that garden burger!&rdquo; Unfortunately, those jobs never lasted because he&rsquo;d get into fights and, instead of pulverizing his enemies, simply quit to avoid doing something he&rsquo;d really regret.<br />
<br />
This abstinence didn&rsquo;t last for long, however. A short stint in the army at 21 ended with a less than honorable discharge when the medicos discovered his heart was compromised. At 22, while working on a fishing boat in the North Atlantic waters, he threw a man overboard who was pestering him, telling him he had the intelligence of a slug and the looks of an orangutan. The man didn&rsquo;t drown, but Ren was thrown in the brig as he was deemed unpredictable and not a team player, and when the ship returned to New York, was arrested and sent to jail.<br />
 <br />
After ten months of cooling off at Riker&rsquo;s Island, he stayed in a halfway house located in the Bowery District of lower Manhattan as he had nowhere to go. Although he tried to avoid it, he did get into a few scrapes with some of the tenants. Several more nights in jail cooled his heels, but he&rsquo;d always return whenever someone challenged him. Perhaps they thought he was too big to ignore. Maybe they thought they&rsquo;d gain points for beating up the big man on campus. All they did receive for their efforts, however, were black eyes, cracked ribs and piercing headaches.<br />
<br />
Ren&rsquo;s mother died of cirrhosis of the liver during his last incarceration. Because he couldn&rsquo;t attend the funeral, it made him angrier than he&rsquo;d ever been, avoiding everyone, even those with good intentions. Out of boredom and frustration, he lifted weights at Goldie&rsquo;s Gym, the one place in lower Manhattan that didn&rsquo;t treat him like a criminal. That went well till, one day, a co-owner of the gym he hadn&rsquo;t met before told him he couldn&rsquo;t workout for free anymore. Since the other owner wasn&rsquo;t around, there was no one to corroborate Ren&rsquo;s story. The co-owner, making a move he, no doubt, regretted later, tried to physically remove Ren from the establishment when he wouldn&rsquo;t leave, resulting in Ren picking him up and throwing him right through the glass wall to the sidewalk. Ending up right back in jail, some of the inmates suggested he should look into becoming a bodyguard or bouncer, as gainful employment for the previously incarcerated were few and far between.<br />
<br />
Released a year later, he spent many months shuffling from one job to the next. He also made attempts at securing bodyguard positions, but it never always worked out. Maybe they didn&rsquo;t like the way he looked, or his heavy deadpan manner, or some other unforeseen item. In any case, constant rejection only served to make him more and more bitter and discouraged.<br />
<br />
It was probably just sheer dumb luck that caused him to walk into the West Side Meat Market one Saturday morning. He was actually just looking to buy some ribs with the few food stamps left in his possession as soup kitchen fare was beginning to wear thin on his nerves. While he was there, he noticed a &lsquo;Help Wanted&rsquo; sign below the counter. Deciding to give it a shot, he spoke to the cashier who spoke to the manager who interviewed him on the spot. Could he lift fifty lbs? Yes? Can he stand freezing cold temperatures? Yep. Does he have any experience with shipping and receiving? You betcha. Does he work well with others? Yes. He wanted to say not really, but he knew better.<br />
<br />
After working at the job for only two months, he felt confident enough to leave the new shelter he&rsquo;d been staying in on Randall&rsquo;s Island and get a studio close to work, as the commute cut too deeply into his waking hours. In New York City, small apartments could run as much as $2200 a month, and that&rsquo;s a conservative estimate. He was lucky, though, to find a tiny, one room studio in a fourth floor walkup close to the waterfront, just mere blocks from the meat district, on the Lower East Side. The paltry rent of $550/month suited him just fine.<br />
<br />
The studio, no bigger than the bathroom at a fast food restaurant, had mirrors on all four walls. And these weren&rsquo;t just vanity-type mirrors. These were full body, ceiling to floor, corner to corner mirrors. It was like walking into rear-view hell. Mirrors, mirrors everywhere, like Bruce Lee&rsquo;s last fight scene in Enter the Dragon. Obviously, they were put up to create the optical illusion that the room was as spacious as a Marriot hotel suite. Ren didn&rsquo;t care. This was his first pad and he was happier than a pig in shit to have it.<br />
<br />
Besides the mirrors, the room had a twin-sized bed sitting in a corner and a chest of drawers painted blood red. In fact, since both the ceiling and the floor were red, the studio may as well had been Satan&rsquo;s bathroom. Whoever designed the joint, he had eclectic tastes.<br />
<br />
For the next few months, Ren labored hard at the meat factory. Busting his rump from sun up to sundown, he arranged huge slabs of meat on baking trays, maintained their integrity off the ceiling hooks, prepared larger cuts for the big spenders, loaded and unloaded the meat trucks, assisted with shipping and delivery, and helped with the general care and maintenance of the plant, both inside and out. So it came as some surprise when, one morning, the manager took him to one side and told him his services would no longer be needed.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Why?&rdquo; he asked. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m never late. I&rsquo;m always here on time. I don&rsquo;t steal. I keep the backroom and the freezers clean.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not you,&rdquo; the sad-eyed, big faced manager told him. &ldquo;The corporate office is downsizing these plants so the new guys get the shaft. You know how it goes.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
Ren ripped off his bloody apron and threw it on the stainless steel table.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;This isn&rsquo;t fair!&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Life isn&rsquo;t fair,&rdquo; the manager told him. &ldquo;I hope you know it has nothing to do with me.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Whatever, man.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
Those were his last words as he turned and exited the store.<br />
 <br />
He spent the next few hours sulking alone on the roof of his apartment building. It seemed like no one ever ventured up there but him. It offered a spectacular view of the West Side Highway and the Hudson River, but because it was covered with bird poo and contained several bulging HVAC devices, its appeal was less than admirable. It was perfect for him because it allowed him to set his bird trap without detection.<br />
<br />
A few months ago, Ren had built a large chicken wire snare using discarded materials from his job. Perfecting it on the roof for days, it resembled a rabbit cage and was approximately the size of an old-fashioned twenty five inch console TV. Springs, hinges and hooks completed its foreboding appearance. On the bottom was a trough for food and water. Planted out of pedestrian sight between two huge gray air conditioning vents, he loaded it up with small pieces of meat from his job then went out around noon to look for a new job. <br />
<br />
Returning jobless that evening, he found two frightened pigeons trapped inside. Jubilant, he ran down the stairs to his studio, grabbed an old rusted hot plate with a rotisserie built into it, and quickly returned to the roof. Plugging the stove in a covered outlet near one of the air ducts, he turned it on. Then, pulling out the long shaft of the rotisserie, he walked over to the bird cage. Opening it, he grabbed one of the pigeons and shoved the shaft in its mouth right clean through its hind parts. As it twisted and struggled from the impalement, he grabbed the other bird and did the same with it. He then walked over to the stove and gingerly anchored it over the edges of the rotisserie. Sitting cross-legged in front of the hot plate, he turned the birds slowly over the blue flames. As the feathers burned, he inhaled the pungent scent deeply. It seemed to transport him to some distant clime, like an ashen land long forgotten and abandoned.<br />
<br />
He sat there for nearly thirty minutes as the avian vapors enveloped his body. Because no smoke alarms were set off, and perhaps because the smoke itself was thin and wisp-like, no one alerted the fire department. Without using marinade, meat rub, or any kind of seasoning, he extracted the remaining feathers by hand, picked up the spike, and chomped into the first bird. Its skin was already bronzed from the heat but its innards were raw. Tearing the meat apart, something primal stirred within him, as if the bloodied muscle, gristle and veins excited it.<br />
 <br />
After finishing off the second bird, he cleaned up the stove and immediate area, then gazed out to the west. The sun was already gone but the vestiges of its presence remained. He watched as cars zipped up and down the highway, each driver&rsquo;s mind suffused with anticipation of their own destination. Getting his fill of the surroundings, he stuffed the remains of the birds in a black plastic bag, returned to his room with the electric burner, and promptly went to bed.<br />
<br />
Now that his first day of gainful unemployment had arrived, he set his trap and went on another job hunt, bringing along his resume just in case it was requested. Walking from meat packing plants to butcher shops to sausage makers in the early morning sun, he discovered none were hiring, or at least that is what he was told. This became an all too familiar refrain for the next couple of weeks. Typical slogans such as &ldquo;Sorry, not at this time,&rdquo; or &ldquo;We&rsquo;re going out of business&rdquo; became routine. At least he didn&rsquo;t go hungry.<br />
<br />
His trap, as it turned out, was successful in ensnaring not only pigeons, but crows, starlings, gulls, an errant red tailed hawk, and a deep blue hyacinth macaw, an eye-catching parrot with a yellow circle around its probing eye that must have escaped from its owner&rsquo;s home or a local pet shop. All animals met the same fate &ndash; lunch. At times, to break up the monotony of his avian diet, he&rsquo;d set his trap in the back of his building at nights. The next day, he&rsquo;d dine on squirrels, raccoons, skunks, rats, cats and any other unfortunate critter he&rsquo;d captured.<br />
<br />
Eventually, his eccentric gastronomic habits got the best of his personality. He thought he was on top of the world, invincible, like a man suddenly made of steel. His neighbors avoided him because of his faraway look, occasionally devilish grimace, and teeth that resembled cobblestone. Pedestrians crossed the street when they saw him ambling towards them, and he even made the mailman nervous. Because he&rsquo;d had enough money saved to pay his meager rent, he was never evicted. He was advised by his manager, however, to keep his room clean as a foul smell would emanate from it intermittently.<br />
<br />
Seeking work was not entirely out of Ren&rsquo;s mind, but because he drifted between raw blood euphoria and questionable sanity, it usually lingered on the back burner. Out of spite, the times he did look for work, he was so belligerent with the employers that they threatened to call the cops if he didn&rsquo;t leave. Even dog walkers feared him. His eyes, like glowing coals of smelted magma, seemed to pierce right through anyone who stared at him. The dogs barked viciously when he walked by. Citizens immediately got up and walked away when he went and sat down next to them on park benches. Three gang-bangers who harassed him one night got the scare of their lives when he used his tremendous fists to create a massive dent on the hood of their car.<br />
<br />
Eventually, the huge and mighty Ren, professional scourge of the Universe, proud owner of flower-slaying body odor, started running out of money for the rent. Robbery crossed his mind; after all, who would say no to a fella who looked like he could crush your skull with his bare hands? But then he thought about jail cuisine. He&rsquo;d become so accustomed to his own dishes that it seemed like he could no longer eat anything else.<br />
<br />
He thought about strong-arming his landlord about the rent but, again, the prospect of jail prevented it. It did occur to him to spend the rest of his life in Central Park, but he felt he&rsquo;d be harassed continuously, not just by the police, but by dog walkers whose attentive pets barked at him whenever he came by. Maybe a return to the shelter might work if only his grotesque dietary habits weren&rsquo;t forbidden.<br />
<br />
One night, while he was out for a late stroll, he saw a cheap flier attached to a light pole. It was from a group looking for fighters for a strong man contest. Ripping the poster down, he read the address. To his surprise, the location pointed towards the south-western edge of the meat district. Without any preparation, save a stomach full of rock dove, he headed towards the spot.<br />
<br />
Minutes later, he was facing a large, roll-down metal gate in the back of a gray, nondescript, industrial two-story building. To the left of the building was a junk shop; to the right was an open field where several homeless people were standing around an oil drum fire telling stories of the good old days. Knocking on the gate, he waited for a response. Receiving none, he knocked on it again, this time pounding so loudly he could&rsquo;ve awakened the dead on the other side. Then, rapping on the small metal door next to it, he stood patiently, waiting for a response. Satisfied no one was there, he crumpled the flier, threw it away, and turned to leave. Just then, the small metal door opened. Turning around, he saw a petite Asian man about 5&rsquo;2&rdquo; with short black hair and circular glasses standing in the doorway. The man, wearing a traditional Tang suit, that is, custom-embroidered red, floor-length skirt, matching black, long sleeve, high-collared shirt with red arms, and a matching red cap, looked like a dignitary from a Shaolin movie.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Can I help you?&rdquo; the diminutive gentleman asked, his hands hidden in his wide sleeves.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;I&rsquo;m here to fight,&rdquo; Ren answered. Even to him, those few simple words escaping his lips seemed unlikely, given he&rsquo;d spent half his life avoiding conflicts. Incessant bullying and false conjectures stiffened his spine, though. Almost overnight, he&rsquo;d transformed from wuss to strongman, surprising those who thought he&rsquo;d never get past being the village punching bag.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Oh, you like wrestling?&rdquo; the Asian wondered.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;I just need the money,&rdquo; Ren nodded. &ldquo;Is this the venue?&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Yes. You&rsquo;re right on time.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
Ren followed the wrinkled little stranger, who must&rsquo;ve been pushing sixty, down a dark staircase, through an unlit hall, and into a room the size of a convenience store, lit by the most meager light known to man - one, low wattage, incandescent bulb dangling from the ceiling. For a brief moment, he felt like he was entering a darkness synonymous with death. Were it not for his own voluminous heartbeat, he would&rsquo;ve believed he&rsquo;d already crossed over to the other side.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Is this it?&rdquo; he asked, quickly surveying the musty room.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Yes.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
Looking around more, he saw a handful of chairs off to each side and a few boxes sitting in a corner. Neatly placed, they looked as if a conscientious maid had been working there recently.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Where&rsquo;s everybody?&rdquo; he asked the wiry stranger.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;You&rsquo;re the only one.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Who am I fighting?&rdquo; he queried, walking into the middle of the room.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Me.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&ldquo;You?&rdquo; Ren laughed.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Yes. Are you ready?&rdquo; the old man asked, slightly bending his knees and cuffing both hands. <br />
<br />
&ldquo;You must be joking, right?&rdquo; Ren asked.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;I assure you,&rdquo; the stranger avowed, &ldquo;this is for real.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&ldquo;What are you?&rdquo; Ren asked. &ldquo;Some kind of karate expert?&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Did you come to talk,&rdquo; the old man asked, &ldquo;or to fight?&rdquo;<br />
<br />
Ren shrugged. &ldquo;Bring it one.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
As he bent to adopt a wrestler&rsquo;s pose, the man quickly ran once around him then sliced though the back of both his calves with his ultra sharp fingernails.<br />
 <br />
&ldquo;You motherfucker!&rdquo; Ren howled, the agonizing pain in his legs temporarily paralyzing him.<br />
<br />
The stranger jumped up on the back of Ren&rsquo;s wide shoulders, brought his thin hands backwards, and slashed Ren&rsquo;s neck with his nails. Screaming, the burly animal trapper dropped to his knees, grabbing his neck as blood poured out on the floor.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;I&rsquo;m gonna kill you!&rdquo; Ren promised him.<br />
<br />
The man, standing behind him, grabbed his throat, dragged him backwards across the room, and slammed him into a wall, dropping him in a sitting position like a rag doll. Then, as Ren shook his dazed head, the elderly man jumped on his thighs, lifted Ren&rsquo;s left hand, and bit off his index and middle fingers. Ren, grabbing his left hand, screamed as blood gushed out. The man then quieted him by placing his hand over his mouth.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Shh,&rdquo; he told him. &ldquo;It&rsquo;ll be okay.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&ldquo;My fingers!&rdquo; Ren screamed. &ldquo;You&rsquo;ve taken my fingers!&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Shh,&rdquo; the man whispered, rubbing Ren&rsquo;s hair. &ldquo;You&rsquo;ll be okay. You&rsquo;ll be okay.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&ldquo;But, my fingers!&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&ldquo;You&rsquo;ll be okay.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
The next day, Ren threw out his animal trap, cleaned up his room and, finally, himself. It was a little difficult because of the huge bandage and lingering pain in his left hand. Later that day, after obtaining new clothes from a drop-off center, he put them on and applied for a job doing maintenance work at a fast food restaurant. Because of his newly reserved temperament and past employment in similar restaurants, he was hired. They said he still works there to this very day and may have even met someone new. Will that last? Only time will tell.<br />

Could he lift fifty lbs? Yes? Can he stand freezing cold temperatures? Yep. Does he have any experience with shipping and receiving? You betcha. Does he work well with others? Yes. He wanted to say not really, but he knew better.<br />
<br />
After working at the job for only two months, he felt confident enough to leave the new shelter he&rsquo;d been staying in on Randall&rsquo;s Island and get a studio close to work, as the commute cut too deeply into his waking hours. In New York City, small apartments could run as much as $2200 a month, and that&rsquo;s a conservative estimate. He was lucky, though, to find a tiny, one room studio in a fourth floor walkup close to the waterfront, just mere blocks from the meat district, on the Lower East Side. The paltry rent of $550/month suited him just fine.<br />
<br />
The studio, no bigger than the bathroom at a fast food restaurant, had mirrors on all four walls. And these weren&rsquo;t just vanity-type mirrors. These were full body, ceiling to floor, corner to corner mirrors. It was like walking into rear-view hell. Mirrors, mirrors everywhere, like Bruce Lee&rsquo;s last fight scene in Enter the Dragon. Obviously, they were put up to create the optical illusion that the room was as spacious as a Marriot hotel suite. Ren didn&rsquo;t care. This was his first pad and he was happier than a pig in shit to have it.<br />
<br />
Besides the mirrors, the room had a twin-sized bed sitting in a corner and a chest of drawers painted blood red. In fact, since both the ceiling and the floor were red, the studio may as well had been Satan&rsquo;s bathroom. Whoever designed the joint, he had eclectic tastes.<br />
<br />
For the next few months, Ren labored hard at the meat factory. Busting his rump from sun up to sundown, he arranged huge slabs of meat on baking trays, maintained their integrity off the ceiling hooks, prepared larger cuts for the big spenders, loaded and unloaded the meat trucks, assisted with shipping and delivery, and helped with the general care and maintenance of the plant, both inside and out. So it came as some surprise when, one morning, the manager took him to one side and told him his services would no longer be needed.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Why?&rdquo; he asked. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m never late. I&rsquo;m always here on time. I don&rsquo;t steal. I keep the backroom and the freezers clean.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not you,&rdquo; the sad-eyed, big faced manager told him. &ldquo;The corporate office is downsizing these plants so the new guys get the shaft. You know how it goes.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
Ren ripped off his bloody apron and threw it on the stainless steel table.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;This isn&rsquo;t fair!&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Life isn&rsquo;t fair,&rdquo; the manager told him. &ldquo;I hope you know it has nothing to do with me.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Whatever, man.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
Those were his last words as he turned and exited the store.<br />
 <br />
He spent the next few hours sulking alone on the roof of his apartment building. It seemed like no one ever ventured up there but him. It offered a spectacular view of the West Side Highway and the Hudson River, but because it was covered with bird poo and contained several bulging HVAC devices, its appeal was less than admirable. It was perfect for him because it allowed him to set his bird trap without detection.<br />
<br />
A few months ago, Ren had built a large chicken wire snare using discarded materials from his job. Perfecting it on the roof for days, it resembled a rabbit cage and was approximately the size of an old-fashioned twenty five inch console TV. Springs, hinges and hooks completed its foreboding appearance. On the bottom was a trough for food and water. Planted out of pedestrian sight between two huge gray air conditioning vents, he loaded it up with small pieces of meat from his job then went out around noon to look for a new job. <br />
<br />
Returning jobless that evening, he found two frightened pigeons trapped inside. Jubilant, he ran down the stairs to his studio, grabbed an old rusted hot plate with a rotisserie built into it, and quickly returned to the roof. Plugging the stove in a covered outlet near one of the air ducts, he turned it on. Then, pulling out the long shaft of the rotisserie, he walked over to the bird cage. Opening it, he grabbed one of the pigeons and shoved the shaft in its mouth right clean through its hind parts. As it twisted and struggled from the impalement, he grabbed the other bird and did the same with it. He then walked over to the stove and gingerly anchored it over the edges of the rotisserie. Sitting cross-legged in front of the hot plate, he turned the birds slowly over the blue flames. As the feathers burned, he inhaled the pungent scent deeply. It seemed to transport him to some distant clime, like an ashen land long forgotten and abandoned.<br />
<br />
He sat there for nearly thirty minutes as the avian vapors enveloped his body. Because no smoke alarms were set off, and perhaps because the smoke itself was thin and wisp-like, no one alerted the fire department. Without using marinade, meat rub, or any kind of seasoning, he extracted the remaining feathers by hand, picked up the spike, and chomped into the first bird. Its skin was already bronzed from the heat but its innards were raw. Tearing the meat apart, something primal stirred within him, as if the bloodied muscle, gristle and veins excited it.<br />
 <br />
After finishing off the second bird, he cleaned up the stove and immediate area, then gazed out to the west. The sun was already gone but the vestiges of its presence remained. He watched as cars zipped up and down the highway, each driver&rsquo;s mind suffused with anticipation of their own destination. Getting his fill of the surroundings, he stuffed the remains of the birds in a black plastic bag, returned to his room with the electric burner, and promptly went to bed.<br />
<br />
Now that his first day of gainful unemployment had arrived, he set his trap and went on another job hunt, bringing along his resume just in case it was requested. Walking from meat packing plants to butcher shops to sausage makers in the early morning sun, he discovered none were hiring, or at least that is what he was told. This became an all too familiar refrain for the next couple of weeks. Typical slogans such as &ldquo;Sorry, not at this time,&rdquo; or &ldquo;We&rsquo;re going out of business&rdquo; became routine. At least he didn&rsquo;t go hungry.<br />
<br />
His trap, as it turned out, was successful in ensnaring not only pigeons, but crows, starlings, gulls, an errant red tailed hawk, and a deep blue hyacinth macaw, an eye-catching parrot with a yellow circle around its probing eye that must have escaped from its owner&rsquo;s home or a local pet shop. All animals met the same fate &ndash; lunch. At times, to break up the monotony of his avian diet, he&rsquo;d set his trap in the back of his building at nights. The next day, he&rsquo;d dine on squirrels, raccoons, skunks, rats, cats and any other unfortunate critter he&rsquo;d captured.<br />
<br />
Eventually, his eccentric gastronomic habits got the best of his personality. He thought he was on top of the world, invincible, like a man suddenly made of steel. His neighbors avoided him because of his faraway look, occasionally devilish grimace, and teeth that resembled cobblestone. Pedestrians crossed the street when they saw him ambling towards them, and he even made the mailman nervous. Because he&rsquo;d had enough money saved to pay his meager rent, he was never evicted. He was advised by his manager, however, to keep his room clean as a foul smell would emanate from it intermittently.<br />
<br />
Seeking work was not entirely out of Ren&rsquo;s mind, but because he drifted between raw blood euphoria and questionable sanity, it usually lingered on the back burner. Out of spite, the times he did look for work, he was so belligerent with the employers that they threatened to call the cops if he didn&rsquo;t leave. Even dog walkers feared him. His eyes, like glowing coals of smelted magma, seemed to pierce right through anyone who stared at him. The dogs barked viciously when he walked by. Citizens immediately got up and walked away when he went and sat down next to them on park benches. Three gang-bangers who harassed him one night got the scare of their lives when he used his tremendous fists to create a massive dent on the hood of their car.<br />
<br />
Eventually, the huge and mighty Ren, professional scourge of the Universe, proud owner of flower-slaying body odor, started running out of money for the rent. Robbery crossed his mind; after all, who would say no to a fella who looked like he could crush your skull with his bare hands? But then he thought about jail cuisine. He&rsquo;d become so accustomed to his own dishes that it seemed like he could no longer eat anything else.<br />
<br />
He thought about strong-arming his landlord about the rent but, again, the prospect of jail prevented it. It did occur to him to spend the rest of his life in Central Park, but he felt he&rsquo;d be harassed continuously, not just by the police, but by dog walkers whose attentive pets barked at him whenever he came by. Maybe a return to the shelter might work if only his grotesque dietary habits weren&rsquo;t forbidden.<br />
<br />
One night, while he was out for a late stroll, he saw a cheap flier attached to a light pole. It was from a group looking for fighters for a strong man contest. Ripping the poster down, he read the address. To his surprise, the location pointed towards the south-western edge of the meat district. Without any preparation, save a stomach full of rock dove, he headed towards the spot.<br />
<br />
Minutes later, he was facing a large, roll-down metal gate in the back of a gray, nondescript, industrial two-story building. To the left of the building was a junk shop; to the right was an open field where several homeless people were standing around an oil drum fire telling stories of the good old days. Knocking on the gate, he waited for a response. Receiving none, he knocked on it again, this time pounding so loudly he could&rsquo;ve awakened the dead on the other side. Then, rapping on the small metal door next to it, he stood patiently, waiting for a response. Satisfied no one was there, he crumpled the flier, threw it away, and turned to leave. Just then, the small metal door opened. Turning around, he saw a petite Asian man about 5&rsquo;2&rdquo; with short black hair and circular glasses standing in the doorway. The man, wearing a traditional Tang suit, that is, custom-embroidered red, floor-length skirt, matching black, long sleeve, high-collared shirt with red arms, and a matching red cap, looked like a dignitary from a Shaolin movie.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Can I help you?&rdquo; the diminutive gentleman asked, his hands hidden in his wide sleeves.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;I&rsquo;m here to fight,&rdquo; Ren answered. Even to him, those few simple words escaping his lips seemed unlikely, given he&rsquo;d spent half his life avoiding conflicts. Incessant bullying and false conjectures stiffened his spine, though. Almost overnight, he&rsquo;d transformed from wuss to strongman, surprising those who thought he&rsquo;d never get past being the village punching bag.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Oh, you like wrestling?&rdquo; the Asian wondered.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;I just need the money,&rdquo; Ren nodded. &ldquo;Is this the venue?&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Yes. You&rsquo;re right on time.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
Ren followed the wrinkled little stranger, who must&rsquo;ve been pushing sixty, down a dark staircase, through an unlit hall, and into a room the size of a convenience store, lit by the most meager light known to man - one, low wattage, incandescent bulb dangling from the ceiling. For a brief moment, he felt like he was entering a darkness synonymous with death. Were it not for his own voluminous heartbeat, he would&rsquo;ve believed he&rsquo;d already crossed over to the other side.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Is this it?&rdquo; he asked, quickly surveying the musty room.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Yes.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
Looking around more, he saw a handful of chairs off to each side and a few boxes sitting in a corner. Neatly placed, they looked as if a conscientious maid had been working there recently.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Where&rsquo;s everybody?&rdquo; he asked the wiry stranger.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;You&rsquo;re the only one.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Who am I fighting?&rdquo; he queried, walking into the middle of the room.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Me.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&ldquo;You?&rdquo; Ren laughed.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Yes. Are you ready?&rdquo; the old man asked, slightly bending his knees and cuffing both hands. <br />
<br />
&ldquo;You must be joking, right?&rdquo; Ren asked.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;I assure you,&rdquo; the stranger avowed, &ldquo;this is for real.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&ldquo;What are you?&rdquo; Ren asked. &ldquo;Some kind of karate expert?&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Did you come to talk,&rdquo; the old man asked, &ldquo;or to fight?&rdquo;<br />
<br />
Ren shrugged. &ldquo;Bring it one.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
As he bent to adopt a wrestler&rsquo;s pose, the man quickly ran once around him then sliced though the back of both his calves with his ultra sharp fingernails.<br />
 <br />
&ldquo;You motherfucker!&rdquo; Ren howled, the agonizing pain in his legs temporarily paralyzing him.<br />
<br />
The stranger jumped up on the back of Ren&rsquo;s wide shoulders, brought his thin hands backwards, and slashed Ren&rsquo;s neck with his nails. Screaming, the burly animal trapper dropped to his knees, grabbing his neck as blood poured out on the floor.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;I&rsquo;m gonna kill you!&rdquo; Ren promised him.<br />
<br />
The man, standing behind him, grabbed his throat, dragged him backwards across the room, and slammed him into a wall, dropping him in a sitting position like a rag doll. Then, as Ren shook his dazed head, the elderly man jumped on his thighs, lifted Ren&rsquo;s left hand, and bit off his index and middle fingers. Ren, grabbing his left hand, screamed as blood gushed out. The man then quieted him by placing his hand over his mouth.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Shh,&rdquo; he told him. &ldquo;It&rsquo;ll be okay.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&ldquo;My fingers!&rdquo; Ren screamed. &ldquo;You&rsquo;ve taken my fingers!&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Shh,&rdquo; the man whispered, rubbing Ren&rsquo;s hair. &ldquo;You&rsquo;ll be okay. You&rsquo;ll be okay.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&ldquo;But, my fingers!&rdquo;<br />
<br />
&ldquo;You&rsquo;ll be okay.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
The next day, Ren threw out his animal trap, cleaned up his room and, finally, himself. It was a little difficult because of the huge bandage and lingering pain in his left hand. Later that day, after obtaining new clothes from a drop-off center, he put them on and applied for a job doing maintenance work at a fast food restaurant. Because of his newly reserved temperament and past employment in similar restaurants, he was hired. They said he still works there to this very day and may have even met someone new. Will that last? Only time will tell.<br />

      <title>Story: Jessabelle by Demorgorgon</title>
      <description><![CDATA[The dream was too vivid to even know it was a dream. The setting took place at a garden party where the food and people were satisfying. Two gentlemen, Jasper and Frank, nestled among a group of wealthy citizens. Till all of a sudden a rumour began to spread across the room. Jessabelle was invited to the party. Jessabelle was on her way. Due to the stories Jasper heard about her, he wasn&rsquo;t quite fond of meeting her. A hush came among the people as he shifted his eyes to see a young tall gorgeous woman standing in the doorway. She was greeting the host and walked around the room. She looked normal to him, and it was hard to believe that she was different. Jasper and Frank became frightened as she walked towards them. As impulsive as Frank was, he panicked, then grabbed a glass of holy water and splashed it all over Jessabelle. For a moment she screamed in pain then then her eyes locked. She glared at Frank and Jasper with a malicious glint. Frank woke up trembling and levitating. Jasper opened the door as soon as Frank collapsed on the bed. &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t tell me you also had the dream?&rdquo; Jasper asked. Frank nodded slowly and afraid. &ldquo;Jessabelle,&rdquo; they all said simultaneously. <br />
<br />
The villainous woman was constantly in their minds so they decided to hang out by the creek. Little did they know that the creek was where Jessabelle died. They talked and laughed, as Jessabelle continued to fade from their minds. Thinking that the atmosphere was all safe and sound, Jessabelle was actually present. Frank squeaked at what he saw. A familiar figure with the same malicious glint stood before him. Jasper&rsquo;s heart nearly jumped out of his chest. Jessabelle was here, and she didn&rsquo;t look quite happy. Jesabelle&rsquo;s figure passed by Frank, burning him as if she was acidic. &ldquo;Painful isn&rsquo;t it,&rdquo; she smirked &ldquo;just like your bloody water.&rdquo; Frank died and fell down giving her just one more victim to play with. No matter how hard Jasper wanted to move, he couldn&rsquo;t. He was glued to the spot and Jessabelle slashed Jasper&rsquo;s tender skin with her nails. After licking his blood of her hands, she began to flay Jasper giving him a death he couldn&rsquo;t imagine.<br />
<br />
On Sunday morning, the streets of London were buzzing with news about the death of Frank Pemberton and Jasper Herrington. Their decapitated heads were found by the creek along with pieces of skin. The news reporter interviewed a woman called Jessabelle who saw their heads by the creek. &ldquo;It was just awful,&rdquo; she cried. Jessabelle was comforted by the news reporter but whispered in his ear &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll see you in your dreams.&rdquo;<br />Tags: <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/ghost">Ghost</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/murder">Murder</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/nightmare">Nightmare</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/evil">Evil</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/violence">Violence</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/graphic">Graphic</a>]]></description>

      <title>Story: Scratches by Zane A. Murray</title>
      <description><![CDATA[2:00 A.M.<br />
<br />
	Have you ever had the feeling that you are never alone in your room? Something awake and breathing in the corner, or a breeze from your closet creaking slowly open, the abysmal void of darkness filling your room space, but never the sight of an entity that you imagine to be tall, made of petrified hands, its eyes being as bright as an old flashlight? Have you ever been so scared in your life, that you&rsquo;ve had your entire body itch like you&#039;ve rolled in fiberglass, sweat coming from all sides like you&#039;ve been in a sauna for several hours, your body shaking so hard like you&#039;re outside naked in a blizzard, you start to cry, hoping you&#039;ll fall asleep, but the tears just won&rsquo;t let you? Well that night was something else. My queen sized bed, tightly tucked into the back of the room, is somewhat comfortable on a normal basis, the black sheets becoming nice and warm, something that I recognize as my safe place. My entire house has been fine with the paranormal, and my parents and I have only seen things about once or twice. That&rsquo;s pretty good if you ask me; living in this house for about 5 years now. My room has a closet next to my bed, passed my desk, and window to the right of it, usually having rain fall upon it. Everything seems very normal during the day, going about our daily activities, with no recollection of the previous nights of no sleep. There are many nights where I get no sleep at all, hearing things and thoughts of seeing things around my medium sized room. There is always something going about. Especially that night. I had just come in a few hours before, fairly tired, and ready for some sleep for once. I did fall into a deep slumber, and it was a good few hours, until there was a thump that came from somewhere in the room. I was startled awake and jerked myself slightly in the bed, under my thin covers. Where could it have come from? My closet? Under my bed? Maybe the attic? I could never tell from these things, so I had listened further, waiting for another noise. <br />
<br />
2:15 A.M.<br />
<br />
	Nothing. Nothing at all. No breathing, no scratching, no knocking, no humming, no noises at all. That was odd. There is always something abnormal going on in the dark sharp corners of my little box. Yet there I lie, in my cushioned, one sheeted sack of comfort, overlapped with nothing but fine linen and fear. I lied there, thinking to myself, whether I should fall asleep again, or get up and sleep downstairs. No, I thought. I can make it like I always do. I sat up onto my pillows, having them fall under my back. I still had the covers over my face, for protection of course. Now I just sat there, waiting for something to happen. <br />
<br />
2:20 A.M. <br />
<br />
	There it was&hellip; the breathing. It was quiet this time. I was petrified under my sheets, frozen, yet shaking beyond belief. It was so cold in the room, but the heater had just turned on. It wasn&#039;t normal breathing. It was slow, and deep, like a man was there. He&#039;d breathe in normally, but the exhaling was so ridged and went out in gusts. The breathing started to get louder&hellip; It was coming from the front of my bed, like someone was standing there, but it had literally moved to the side of my bed, standing over. I started to cry, my chin curled up, my eyes squinted, and water streamed down. The man started to imitate me. The deep breathing started to sob like me, mocking my pain and fear. I had covered my face, and sobbed into my sweaty palms. I had choked up and tried to stop, succeeding, but the man continued to sob ferociously in a violent manner. I had to do something, make it all end. I flipped the covers directly upwards, ready to fight for my life, but upon seeing my dimly lit room, from the light under my door&hellip;nothing. There was nothing there. No man, no sobbing&hellip;just me. <br />
<br />
2:30 A.M. <br />
<br />
	I don&rsquo;t know&hellip;I don&#039;t know what that was. I sat there in my bed. No covers over my face, no urge to try and protect myself from whatever that was. I just sat there&hellip;thinking to myself. Am I the monster? Am I the creator of these weird things that go on in my room at night? Am I losing my mind? There surely is an explanation for this. There has never been anything worse happen to me, than just then. Sobbing? Breathing right over me? Help me. I just want to sleep. I&rsquo;ve been yearning for dreams of sunshine and warmth, but here I lied, in my cold room and dense bed of fright. <br />
<br />
2:35 A.M. <br />
<br />
	I can feel it&hellip; like someone is staring at me. I had tucked myself under the covers and into the corner of the wall and bed. Darkness comforted me. and everything wasn&#039;t as bad. But there it was, the feeling of lingering yellow eyes like a cat staring at my helpless little meat sack of a body. Food, for something of a darker nature, yearning for a meal. I didn&#039;t know where it was coming from, and that made my skin crawl. I sat there, trying to gain the courage to look up past my covers. What would happen to me, if I did? Would I actually be in danger? Or would I be making it all up? Am I just paranoid? I had to&hellip;just to make sure. I looked up past my covers, and peering over them with my hands tucked in a grip, was a woman on my ceiling in the corner of my room. She had black hair, yellow eyes, and her mouth was open. Her jaw was dislocated, and was just hanging off her face, drool coming from her mouth. Her eyes were wide open, staring in to my helpless soul&hellip;You could see what she was wearing. It was an old white night gown, stains of blood on the bottom trim. Holes everywhere in the dirty white cloth. Her face was dirty too, the left side of her face covered in a dark tint. It was dripping onto my floor. I was terrified. I was frozen again. Wait, I thought, Why can&#039;t I move? I was in sleep paralysis and only my eyes could move. The woman dropped to the floor with a splash, fluid of something splashing across my wooden floor. You could hear the bones in her arms break. And her spine crack. It was all so loud, my ears couldn&#039;t take it. She sat up, slowly, snapping her arms back into place somehow, and her head cracking sideways. Her jaw was still broken and hanging from her white pale face. She started to take steps towards me. Her head kept jerking back and forth to different shoulders, hearing the snap get louder and louder. My eyes started to water. What is this? She reached out her hands, and placed them on my bed. Bending over slightly, drool went all over the foot of my bed, and blood dripped from her face covering my sheets in red. She lifted herself up onto it, and grabbed my foot with one hand. The other went on my leg, and she started to stroke it harshly, like she was trying to skin it. She yanked the sheet from my hands, and lifted up my shirt. Her hands were so cold, and her nails were long. Oh my God, I thought. She then started to scratch my chest, cutting open my skin, and blood oozing from it. Her hair wiped it up, and she leaned in closer to my face. Her jaw and teeth scraping my bloody chest. <br />
<br />
&ldquo;Hi.&rdquo;, she says in a deep voice. Then screams in my face. I scream as well and close my eyes as tight as I can. I fling up from my bed, and grasp my chest. Also grasping my covers. I was breathing so heavy, and tears were all over my face. I started to cry and that led to uncontrollable sobbing. I knew that there was nothing there anymore, and I felt my chest, there being no more pain. I can&#039;t do this anymore, I can&rsquo;t. Help me God, help me, I thought. Nothing can save me but some more sleep. <br />
<br />
2:50 A.M.<br />
<br />
	I slept from there on. But woke to my leg aching. Growing pains. I was still a teen after all, and they were common at this stage. I was calming down a little more, convincing myself that it is all a dream or some sort of hallucination or something. I sat up and took off the covers, and started to massage my leg. It started to feel better, and everything started to ease with me getting more tired. This was such a wild night, and I couldn&#039;t take it anymore. I started to contemplate whether to go to the downstairs and sleep on the couch, even though my parents hate that, that me having a bed and all. I started to focus on my breathing and calming myself while rubbing my leg softly, remembering what the woman had done. Then there was a scratch. It was subtle and I thought it was just me. I ignored it. There it was again. I stopped rubbing my leg. Scratch. My bed&hellip; from underneath. There was something under my bed. I was there frozen, once again, for the third time. Why does this keep happening? I need to get downstairs. That was the first thing that came into my mind. The couch and more lights are my friends at this point. I couldn&#039;t wait for more sleep. <br />
<br />
&ldquo;Hear comes more nightmares,<br />
&ldquo;Memories like a flame,<br />
&ldquo;I love to make all of you scared,<br />
&ldquo;I&rsquo;m the monster that is to blame.&rdquo;, said a voice from under my bed. It was a high voice, and it cracked literally just twigs. It sounded like, a teenager, underneath my safety. <br />
<br />
&ldquo;That sounds like someone I know.&rdquo;, I said under my breath in a whisper. <br />
<br />
&ldquo;You&rsquo;d be right my little friend.&rdquo;, the voice said. &ldquo;You&rsquo;d be right that I am your end.&rdquo;, he said with a sinister laugh. <br />
<br />
I couldn&#039;t take this anymore. I was to get up out of the bed, and dash to my door. I&rsquo;d ignore all of the fear and fright and pain that I had endured through the night, and run into the lit hallway of my upstairs corridors. Yes, that was my plan. It wasn&#039;t very good, and I didn&#039;t consider the possible consequences. I urged to do it, but the continuous scratching and tapping from the person under my bed, led me to stop myself. I went. I grabbed my sheet and sat up off the bed hastily. I stomped on the hard wood floor and dashed for the door&hellip;but a cold wet hand grabbed my ankle&hellip;I fell completely flat on my face, and smashed my teeth against the wood. It hurt so bad. I gripped my face, and mouth, and flipped over on my side, and glanced under the bed&hellip;it was another me&hellip; same pajamas and same look, but his eyes were gouged out blood gushing all over the floor&hellip; and he was holding a knife. He had a smile from ear to ear, and he said, &ldquo;There&rsquo;s one thing that we all are afraid of when it&rsquo;s what we hear&hellip;and it&rsquo;s someone of a doppelganger, smiling at your fear.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
3:00 A.M.<br />
<br />
And here I am. In the limbo and darkness of the void, in my room space like normal, but the same night lingers. My fear isn&#039;t that one self and reflection of myself like in a mirror, its the night on replay, playing over&hellip; and over again.<br />Tags: <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/scary">Scary</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/insomnia">Insomnia</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/nightmares">Nightmares</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/woman">Woman</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/blood">Blood</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/nightterrors">Nightterrors</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/monsters">Monsters</a>]]></description>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[2:00 A.M.<br />
<br />
	Have you ever had the feeling that you are never alone in your room? Something awake and breathing in the corner, or a breeze from your closet creaking slowly open, the abysmal void of darkness filling your room space, but never the sight of an entity that you imagine to be tall, made of petrified hands, its eyes being as bright as an old flashlight? Have you ever been so scared in your life, that you&rsquo;ve had your entire body itch like you&#039;ve rolled in fiberglass, sweat coming from all sides like you&#039;ve been in a sauna for several hours, your body shaking so hard like you&#039;re outside naked in a blizzard, you start to cry, hoping you&#039;ll fall asleep, but the tears just won&rsquo;t let you? Well that night was something else. My queen sized bed, tightly tucked into the back of the room, is somewhat comfortable on a normal basis, the black sheets becoming nice and warm, something that I recognize as my safe place. My entire house has been fine with the paranormal, and my parents and I have only seen things about once or twice. That&rsquo;s pretty good if you ask me; living in this house for about 5 years now. My room has a closet next to my bed, passed my desk, and window to the right of it, usually having rain fall upon it. Everything seems very normal during the day, going about our daily activities, with no recollection of the previous nights of no sleep. There are many nights where I get no sleep at all, hearing things and thoughts of seeing things around my medium sized room. There is always something going about. Especially that night. I had just come in a few hours before, fairly tired, and ready for some sleep for once. I did fall into a deep slumber, and it was a good few hours, until there was a thump that came from somewhere in the room. I was startled awake and jerked myself slightly in the bed, under my thin covers. Where could it have come from? My closet? Under my bed? Maybe the attic? I could never tell from these things, so I had listened further, waiting for another noise. <br />
<br />
2:15 A.M.<br />
<br />
	Nothing. Nothing at all. No breathing, no scratching, no knocking, no humming, no noises at all. That was odd. There is always something abnormal going on in the dark sharp corners of my little box. Yet there I lie, in my cushioned, one sheeted sack of comfort, overlapped with nothing but fine linen and fear. I lied there, thinking to myself, whether I should fall asleep again, or get up and sleep downstairs. No, I thought. I can make it like I always do. I sat up onto my pillows, having them fall under my back. I still had the covers over my face, for protection of course. Now I just sat there, waiting for something to happen. <br />
<br />
2:20 A.M. <br />
<br />
	There it was&hellip; the breathing. It was quiet this time. I was petrified under my sheets, frozen, yet shaking beyond belief. It was so cold in the room, but the heater had just turned on. It wasn&#039;t normal breathing. It was slow, and deep, like a man was there. He&#039;d breathe in normally, but the exhaling was so ridged and went out in gusts. The breathing started to get louder&hellip; It was coming from the front of my bed, like someone was standing there, but it had literally moved to the side of my bed, standing over. I started to cry, my chin curled up, my eyes squinted, and water streamed down. The man started to imitate me. The deep breathing started to sob like me, mocking my pain and fear. I had covered my face, and sobbed into my sweaty palms. I had choked up and tried to stop, succeeding, but the man continued to sob ferociously in a violent manner. I had to do something, make it all end. I flipped the covers directly upwards, ready to fight for my life, but upon seeing my dimly lit room, from the light under my door&hellip;nothing. There was nothing there. No man, no sobbing&hellip;just me. <br />
<br />
2:30 A.M. <br />
<br />
	I don&rsquo;t know&hellip;I don&#039;t know what that was. I sat there in my bed. No covers over my face, no urge to try and protect myself from whatever that was. I just sat there&hellip;thinking to myself. Am I the monster? Am I the creator of these weird things that go on in my room at night? Am I losing my mind? There surely is an explanation for this. There has never been anything worse happen to me, than just then. Sobbing? Breathing right over me? Help me. I just want to sleep. I&rsquo;ve been yearning for dreams of sunshine and warmth, but here I lied, in my cold room and dense bed of fright. <br />
<br />
2:35 A.M. <br />
<br />
	I can feel it&hellip; like someone is staring at me. I had tucked myself under the covers and into the corner of the wall and bed. Darkness comforted me. and everything wasn&#039;t as bad. But there it was, the feeling of lingering yellow eyes like a cat staring at my helpless little meat sack of a body. Food, for something of a darker nature, yearning for a meal. I didn&#039;t know where it was coming from, and that made my skin crawl. I sat there, trying to gain the courage to look up past my covers. What would happen to me, if I did? Would I actually be in danger? Or would I be making it all up? Am I just paranoid? I had to&hellip;just to make sure. I looked up past my covers, and peering over them with my hands tucked in a grip, was a woman on my ceiling in the corner of my room. She had black hair, yellow eyes, and her mouth was open. Her jaw was dislocated, and was just hanging off her face, drool coming from her mouth. Her eyes were wide open, staring in to my helpless soul&hellip;You could see what she was wearing. It was an old white night gown, stains of blood on the bottom trim. Holes everywhere in the dirty white cloth. Her face was dirty too, the left side of her face covered in a dark tint. It was dripping onto my floor. I was terrified. I was frozen again. Wait, I thought, Why can&#039;t I move? I was in sleep paralysis and only my eyes could move. The woman dropped to the floor with a splash, fluid of something splashing across my wooden floor. You could hear the bones in her arms break. And her spine crack. It was all so loud, my ears couldn&#039;t take it. She sat up, slowly, snapping her arms back into place somehow, and her head cracking sideways. Her jaw was still broken and hanging from her white pale face. She started to take steps towards me. Her head kept jerking back and forth to different shoulders, hearing the snap get louder and louder. My eyes started to water. What is this? She reached out her hands, and placed them on my bed. Bending over slightly, drool went all over the foot of my bed, and blood dripped from her face covering my sheets in red. She lifted herself up onto it, and grabbed my foot with one hand. The other went on my leg, and she started to stroke it harshly, like she was trying to skin it. She yanked the sheet from my hands, and lifted up my shirt. Her hands were so cold, and her nails were long. Oh my God, I thought. She then started to scratch my chest, cutting open my skin, and blood oozing from it. Her hair wiped it up, and she leaned in closer to my face. Her jaw and teeth scraping my bloody chest. <br />
<br />
&ldquo;Hi.&rdquo;, she says in a deep voice. Then screams in my face. I scream as well and close my eyes as tight as I can. I fling up from my bed, and grasp my chest. Also grasping my covers. I was breathing so heavy, and tears were all over my face. I started to cry and that led to uncontrollable sobbing. I knew that there was nothing there anymore, and I felt my chest, there being no more pain. I can&#039;t do this anymore, I can&rsquo;t. Help me God, help me, I thought. Nothing can save me but some more sleep. <br />
<br />
2:50 A.M.<br />
<br />
	I slept from there on. But woke to my leg aching. Growing pains. I was still a teen after all, and they were common at this stage. I was calming down a little more, convincing myself that it is all a dream or some sort of hallucination or something. I sat up and took off the covers, and started to massage my leg. It started to feel better, and everything started to ease with me getting more tired. This was such a wild night, and I couldn&#039;t take it anymore.

      <title>Story: Reality Of The Mindless by Brody Battersby</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Some say using big words are just ineffective, useless, demeaning, and plainly idiotic. I, myself, enjoy the use of longer words. Like serene, idiotic, scrupulous, and others such as those. But, when making a point one must not use language that another cannot comprehend. As such, when arguing or stating facts, one does not exaggerate their vocabulary to heights of which the other cannot see, hear, or process. A police officer does not come to a house and say: &ldquo;Madame, I do regret to dispose of your heavenly evening but your daughter is farther and passed as she can get&rdquo;. They say it how the fact is, &ldquo;Your daughter is dead&rdquo;. But a writer writes in elegant hand and exposes the words like a painting of rhymes, metaphors, and insatiable critique. Thus, when reading a poem to a passed loved one, one must choose to be as elegant as a writer in free hand, or as solid as a brick of mortar and steel. Sadly as it is, neither of those can or are correct. When losing a loved one, one does not laugh and celebrate their death as it is in writing. One weeps and cries, their soul itself torn to shreds by the specks of mortality bursting through the seams in a ever painful release. Yet, when my own sanity escaped my being, I saw the world as colors, shapes, and sounds that were&hellip; Not as real as you&rsquo;d expect.<br />
<br />
	I was the youngest of 3 brothers at the age of 15. An accident has destroyed the use of my lower body and half of my torso. I could not walk, though my family lived on a hill, and that was no fun. The roll to and from anywhere close by was a curse upon my arms and shoulders, like needles piercing my bone and suctioning my vulnerable bone marrow. When I did return to my home, my brothers were always there to greet me; Horrid smiles plastered their faces and sticks in their hands. My wheelchair always had large, silver spokes, and as they stuck sticks into them, I was frozen and stuck. Letting me rot out at night as it rained. Or threw stones at me while I was stuck in one spot. They laughed at my misery. And whenever they were hurt, I laughed at theirs; Only to be reprimanded by them and my parents in a disdainful way. One day I was on the grind on my way back from school, panic flooding through my blood as I knew the painful smiles there to greet my shallowed form. The voice in my head grew louder as I approached, my brothers nowhere to be found. From behind me, I heard a loud pop. Much alike a pellet gun or airsoft rifle. It was the latter, it shot again, reverberating  through the back of my chair. I whipped around to see then,the gun pointed at me, mere inches from my nose. &ldquo;GRAB IT!&rdquo; Someone yelled, yet nobody turned their heads &ldquo;DO IT!&rdquo; It shrieked. Grabbing the base of the gun I yanked it downward, freeing the weapon from the grasp of my brother. Now free from his hand I fired the 8 remaining shots at my now fleeing kin. It laughed, oh my friend, my newest friend laughed, overly content with the irony of my pain. They left me alone the rest of the day. <br />
<br />
<br />
I awoke with a cloth in my mouth, a gag of sorts. I screamed, my unechoed voice muffled and drowned out by the painfully high pitched giggles of the voices around me. I tried to move, my arms tied and legs broken, I had no feeling in my legs, and they were bent as such an angle I looked like a demonic monster or demon sent from hell to kill everything around me. I was forced into what was like a plastic box, they laughed. The sound of tape and ropes were heard oh too very clearly, as they locked me in my fate like a mouse caught in a trap. It started slow, like a dragging with the thud every second. I counted. 182 steps. They stopped, my head sore from the whiplash and pain of the constant thudding. Then I heard her, my own mother, angry with the boys. My own mother, the one who married my father, who drove into a car with me in front, destroying my mobility. <br />
<br />
	She scolded them, telling them things I wish I heard. I screamed again, trying to get her to free me from my plastic prison. She kicked the box I was in, and kicked it again, and again, like horrid thunder her foot teetered me off the edge and directly down the stairs. My neck whipped back and forth like a rope on a car and I passed out, when I woke I was on my bed, my head bloodied, my door locked from the outside, and my wheelchair gone. &ldquo;GET THEM! HURT THEM BACK!&rdquo; The friend inside my mind yelled: &ldquo;THROW THEM DOWN THE STAIRS! BURN THEM TO HELL!&rdquo; It continued. It seemed like all I could do was listen, and obey. This thing wanted to help, I thought, &ldquo;It is me, and I listen to me, and noone else&rdquo;! I growled and crawled to the window, crawling out into the open yard, my legs far from the unmolested state they were before. I found my wheelchair thrown into the garbage along with most of my belongings. &ldquo;Wanted to get rid of me eh&rdquo;? I grumbled, fueling my anger and hatred for the ones who shared my genes. I pulled it free and wheeled to the shed, the same shed covered in dents where I was shackled and stoned. I saw three things first: an Axe, our hedge trimmers, and our large, expensive wood chipper.<br />
<br />
<br />
 &ldquo;Good. They will know my hate. My pain, and yes, I will never regret this.&rdquo; I said aloud like an evil villain plotting his plan to his minions. Taking the axe I put it in my lap along with the trimmers and a cord I made my way inside via our back door. My brother&rsquo;s bunk bed was on the bottom floor, lucky me. Ever so silently I entered their room. Smashing at the top bunk I yelled, waking the pair, and the bottom one, Lazarus, was already tied, gagged, and sobbing. The other, one jumped onto me, and with the arms I had developed for so, so long I whacked at the crook of his exposed neck. Blood flew across the room the the wings of a tainted angel. Something happened, I did something I&rsquo;d never have done in years, I laughed. I laughed until I cried at his deceased and lifeless husk. Lazarus was awake and trying to scream. I took the trimmers and chuckled, placing the 2 blades hooked to the top bunk so that all he could see was that and my bloody, laughing face.  I then took my axe, and began noisily hacking at the four supports, still laughing so hard that my eyes were red and puffy. The bunk crashed down and smashed, crushing his legs with a satisfying crunch as his skull was impaled by the old and rusted metal. I laughed as his muffled scream made me laugh. By now my mother was staring at me, mortified from the open door. I turned to her and sneered &ldquo;You did this, and lookie here what happened&rdquo;... Her face as pale as the now near-bloodless corpses of my brethren. She had this look, a look&hellip; <br />
<br />
A look that said &ldquo;You&rsquo;ve looked out on a city and know how much of it you don&rsquo;t have&rdquo;.<br />
A look that said &ldquo;You&rsquo;ve walked into a mob warehouse during an arms trade.&rdquo;<br />
A look that said &ldquo;You&rsquo;ve realized your heist is going wrong.&rdquo;﻿<br />
A look that said &ldquo;You&rsquo;ve just seen your youngest child murder his brothers happily&rdquo;.<br />
A look that said &ldquo;I&rsquo;m next aren&rsquo;t I Hamish?&rdquo;<br />
<br />
	She ran from the room, and by the crash of the back door she was right where I wanted her. I wheeled fast behind her, managing to swipe at her leg with my tool of trade, my axe and stuck her to the grass. I hurriedly pulled from the shed our wood chipper and placed the heavy, blasted thing on the table. Dragging her still alive body into the whirring jaws of her demise as she screamed for her life, her gore and chunks of bone flying from the smoking machine as her legs, then hips and torso along with her head and arms were bloodily devoured. I laid beneath the machine, rolling in the bits laughing like I just won the lottery; And in my own way, I did. The police arrived within the hour, one of them vomited, it was funny. The others bloodied their hands to throw me into the car, as I was asleep at the time. I went to court, and funnily enough they sent me where I am now, a mental hospital. The voice is still my friend, and I listen to him way more now.<br />
<br />
	They gave me therapy, and one day, I hated, I loathed it, I despised it; So pinning my therapist to the ground I took my finger and removed his eye from the socket. And ate it. Around his crimson stained face, a mixture of spit, blood, and tears dripping to the floor around us in a pool danced a dance no human has seen ever before. Removed again and sent to prison was to be my next destination. 2 years and I left, back to the hospital. The funny thing is, everything I wrote here is true&hellip; You may not believe, in fact, I suggest not too. But the ramblings of the mad drive those who understand insane.<br />Tags: <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/Story">Story</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/Mad">Mad</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/Insane">Insane</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/graphic">Graphic</a>]]></description>

It started slow, like a dragging with the thud every second. I counted. 182 steps. They stopped, my head sore from the whiplash and pain of the constant thudding. Then I heard her, my own mother, angry with the boys. My own mother, the one who married my father, who drove into a car with me in front, destroying my mobility. <br />
<br />
	She scolded them, telling them things I wish I heard. I screamed again, trying to get her to free me from my plastic prison. She kicked the box I was in, and kicked it again, and again, like horrid thunder her foot teetered me off the edge and directly down the stairs. My neck whipped back and forth like a rope on a car and I passed out, when I woke I was on my bed, my head bloodied, my door locked from the outside, and my wheelchair gone. &ldquo;GET THEM! HURT THEM BACK!&rdquo; The friend inside my mind yelled: &ldquo;THROW THEM DOWN THE STAIRS! BURN THEM TO HELL!&rdquo; It continued. It seemed like all I could do was listen, and obey. This thing wanted to help, I thought, &ldquo;It is me, and I listen to me, and noone else&rdquo;! I growled and crawled to the window, crawling out into the open yard, my legs far from the unmolested state they were before. I found my wheelchair thrown into the garbage along with most of my belongings. &ldquo;Wanted to get rid of me eh&rdquo;? I grumbled, fueling my anger and hatred for the ones who shared my genes. I pulled it free and wheeled to the shed, the same shed covered in dents where I was shackled and stoned. I saw three things first: an Axe, our hedge trimmers, and our large, expensive wood chipper.<br />
<br />
<br />
 &ldquo;Good. They will know my hate. My pain, and yes, I will never regret this.&rdquo; I said aloud like an evil villain plotting his plan to his minions. Taking the axe I put it in my lap along with the trimmers and a cord I made my way inside via our back door. My brother&rsquo;s bunk bed was on the bottom floor, lucky me. Ever so silently I entered their room. Smashing at the top bunk I yelled, waking the pair, and the bottom one, Lazarus, was already tied, gagged, and sobbing. The other, one jumped onto me, and with the arms I had developed for so, so long I whacked at the crook of his exposed neck. Blood flew across the room the the wings of a tainted angel. Something happened, I did something I&rsquo;d never have done in years, I laughed. I laughed until I cried at his deceased and lifeless husk. Lazarus was awake and trying to scream. I took the trimmers and chuckled, placing the 2 blades hooked to the top bunk so that all he could see was that and my bloody, laughing face.  I then took my axe, and began noisily hacking at the four supports, still laughing so hard that my eyes were red and puffy. The bunk crashed down and smashed, crushing his legs with a satisfying crunch as his skull was impaled by the old and rusted metal. I laughed as his muffled scream made me laugh. By now my mother was staring at me, mortified from the open door. I turned to her and sneered &ldquo;You did this, and lookie here what happened&rdquo;... Her face as pale as the now near-bloodless corpses of my brethren. She had this look, a look&hellip; <br />
<br />
A look that said &ldquo;You&rsquo;ve looked out on a city and know how much of it you don&rsquo;t have&rdquo;.<br />
A look that said &ldquo;You&rsquo;ve walked into a mob warehouse during an arms trade.&rdquo;<br />
A look that said &ldquo;You&rsquo;ve realized your heist is going wrong.&rdquo;﻿<br />
A look that said &ldquo;You&rsquo;ve just seen your youngest child murder his brothers happily&rdquo;.<br />
A look that said &ldquo;I&rsquo;m next aren&rsquo;t I Hamish?&rdquo;<br />
<br />
	She ran from the room, and by the crash of the back door she was right where I wanted her. I wheeled fast behind her, managing to swipe at her leg with my tool of trade, my axe and stuck her to the grass. I hurriedly pulled from the shed our wood chipper and placed the heavy, blasted thing on the table. Dragging her still alive body into the whirring jaws of her demise as she screamed for her life, her gore and chunks of bone flying from the smoking machine as her legs, then hips and torso along with her head and arms were bloodily devoured. I laid beneath the machine, rolling in the bits laughing like I just won the lottery; And in my own way, I did. The police arrived within the hour, one of them vomited, it was funny. The others bloodied their hands to throw me into the car, as I was asleep at the time. I went to court, and funnily enough they sent me where I am now, a mental hospital. The voice is still my friend, and I listen to him way more now.<br />
<br />
	They gave me therapy, and one day, I hated, I loathed it, I despised it; So pinning my therapist to the ground I took my finger and removed his eye from the socket. And ate it. Around his crimson stained face, a mixture of spit, blood, and tears dripping to the floor around us in a pool danced a dance no human has seen ever before. Removed again and sent to prison was to be my next destination. 2 years and I left, back to the hospital. The funny thing is, everything I wrote here is true&hellip; You may not believe, in fact, I suggest not too. But the ramblings of the mad drive those who understand insane.<br />Tags: <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/Story">Story</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/Mad">Mad</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/Insane">Insane</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/graphic">Graphic</a>]]></content:encoded>

      <title>Story: On the Verge of Death by Demorgorgon</title>
      <description><![CDATA[My heart was pounding as I bolted uphill. I began to pant in fear. The shadows of the trees lurked into the darkness, and the wind growled and slammed cold blasts of air upon me. My thighs got heavier each step, but I couldn&#039;t give up because she was right behind me. I stumbled on every rock I encountered and my body wanted to give up. Her growl echoed in the darkness as she flapped her wings and took flight. I knew why she was after me, and she wasn&#039;t going to give up until she gets what she wants.  <br />
<br />
The further I went, the closer she got. The wind blew even harder trying pushing me back, but this time the spooky trees joined in as well. Mud splashed all over my legs and it was raining cats and dogs. I bolted further up the hill but tiredly collapsed as my legs couldn&#039;t carry me much longer. I could taste blood and failure as I landed on the wet sand. Tears of fear went down my chin as I saw her tall, huge figure crawling towards me like a predator. Her body became more dreadful as she came closer, but her face remained the same since it couldn&#039;t get uglier. She petrified me even more and her fork tongue dangled between her fangs mischievously. I looked up to the dark sky begging for him to help me, but he still didn&#039;t respond.<br />
<br />
 The creature&rsquo;s sharp claws penetrated beneath my skin and began to torment me even more. Kicking back my feet was hopeless since it felt like trying to drown a fish in water. I screamed piercingly until I ran out of hope and collapsed on the ground disappointed. As I lied down in pain and anguish, my life started to flash before my eyes. My eyes flashed from the day we were hopelessly poor until I made the worst decision in my life.... selling my soul to the DEVIL. I thought of my daughter&#039;s starving face and the shame I felt for not working hard enough to support her. Janice, my poor little Janice. How she always begged me to provide her with fancy clothing, just so she could fit in with the rich kids. At least we got wealthy. At least she got to enjoy a luxurious life before time was up. Red stains were all over my dress, and I closed my eyes and patiently waiting for death. But death was taking his time. The next thing I knew is that I was lying down on a hospital bed, with my daughter standing right beside me.<br />Tags: <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/fear">Fear</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/demon">Demon</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/money">Money</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/graphic">Graphic</a>]]></description>

      <title>Story: The DEVIL'S SUPPER by Demorgorgon</title>
      <description><![CDATA[I smelled the most alluring smell steaming out of her living room. &ldquo;I cooked something special for us today,&rdquo; Delilah&rsquo;s voice announced excitedly across the hall. I followed my nose to her living room to find a delicious collection of shrimp, fries, pizza and a huge deck of roasted meat. I positioned myself between Jesse and Dalilah who exchanged each other with hateful glares. Opposite from me stood Joey who held his fork clutched tightly in his fist. He shoveled spoonfuls into his mouth. Occasionally he would talk about his days at school, but today his only focus was his plate. <br />
<br />
Awkwardness enlightened the room while Jesse and Dalilah continued to manifest signs of complete hatred. With a look of disgust, Jesse poked the meat repeatedly. &ldquo;Is this even meat?&rdquo; He scrunched his face.                  <br />
   &ldquo;I see that your rudeness has still not left you,&rdquo; Delilah snarled. Jesse rolled his eyes, and I stood there frightened but relieved that Joey didn&rsquo;t get a glimpse notice of his parents&rsquo; new relationship. Dalilah gnashed her food furiously. <br />
<br />
&ldquo;I can&rsquo;t wait to go home into the arms of Massie,&rdquo; Jesse smirked &ldquo;at least I found a woman who knows how to cook.&rdquo; The more words vomited out of Jesse&rsquo;s mouth, the more Delilah&rsquo;s face heated up with jealousy. Crack! Delilah&rsquo;s plate suddenly broke. &ldquo;She won&rsquo;t even last long, as you tend to have a habit of losing woman!!&rdquo;<br />
 Joey suddenly turned his attention towards his parents, but then shrugged his shoulders and continued eating. He lifted the plate to his mouth and scooped all his leftover bits in. &ldquo;What makes you think she won&rsquo;t last long?&rdquo; Jesse&rsquo;s voice thundered. Delilah began to smile with an evil glint in her eyes. &ldquo;She&rsquo;s already gone Jesse,&rdquo; Delilah snickered. I dislocated my seat from Delilah, and moved closer to Jesse who&rsquo;s face held a detestable frown. Ever since the divorce, Delilah&rsquo;s happiness and calmness evaded her. Almost as if her soul was replaced by a demon. She stood from her chair and moved slowly to Jesse.<br />
<br />
 &ldquo;I know she&rsquo;s gone because you&rsquo;re eating her,&rdquo; Delilah whispered loudly and laughed like an assailant. &ldquo;You&rsquo;ve always wanted to be close to her right?  Even when we were married. Now here you are, eating the woman who you kissed behind my back for years. &rdquo; Pieces of meat flew out of Jesse&rsquo;s mouth and he grabbed Delilah&rsquo;s neck intensely. Delilah gasped for air, and right before my eyes was the day I witnessed my best friend&rsquo;s death. Jesse felt no remorse for what he did, but Joey was too caught up in his food to even notice his mom&rsquo;s death. Day after day, Joey would ask what happened to his mom, but his daddy would say that she went away with her true love.  He said that she will never come back because she can&rsquo;t leave her husband, and if you ask me, I know what he meant when he said her husband. He meant the DEVIL.<br />Tags: <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/psycho">Psycho</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/love">Love</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/crazy">Crazy</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/cheating">Cheating</a>]]></description>

      <title>Story: How To Talk To Yourself by Akio</title>
      <description><![CDATA[The first thing you should know about me is that I&rsquo;m very faint of heart.<br />
<br />
There&rsquo;s a pamphlet I&rsquo;ve been looking for for a while now. I remember coming across it a while ago while I was a child. I was at the doctor&rsquo;s office, the waiting room, getting a physical. The year was 2002. I was born in 1996.<br />
<br />
That&rsquo;s when I saw it. Strewn within the other celebrity or glamor magazines, it peeked out with one, single, gray corner.<br />
It was almost like it was looking at me. I picked it up and read the title.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;How to Talk to Yourself.&rdquo; by a man named Roger Harrison. There was no graphic, just the white background and the arial font reading the title and the author.<br />
<br />
To this day, I&rsquo;ve never been able to find out who the mysterious Roger Harrison was. I&rsquo;ve spent countless hours on the internet browsing for someone, anyone who remotely matched my quarry.<br />
<br />
Last week, I found a tattered piece of paper plastered to a sewer grate, colors running from the recent rain. I picked it up, and I read the title. It was the very same pamphlet from my childhood. The one I remember so very clearly on that one day in the waiting room.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;How to Talk to Yourself&rdquo;.<br />
<br />
I quickly stuffed it in my bag. I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, the feeling you get when you&rsquo;re being watched. I was in a crowded square in the middle of a city. Surely, it was a coincidence.<br />
<br />
I continued home, attempting to forget the pamphlet that was lying in my bag. Perhaps I&rsquo;d save it as a bit of memorabilia. Perhaps I&rsquo;d trash it.<br />
I walked a little faster now. I was on a sidewalk, near the outskirts of the city. I live in a small, yellowing apartment in what you could call the fringes of the city. The building is gray and covered in ivy.<br />
<br />
I arrived at my building. I slid my key into the lock and opened the door with a creak. I felt the sudden urge to read this pamphlet. I brushed it off.<br />
With every step I took up the stairs, I could feel this sensation building more and more, and more until I eventually could not take it anymore and broke into a sprint to my apartment. I opened the door, took off my backpack, and grabbed the pamphlet out.<br />
<br />
The feeling of being watched had subsided now, me being safe in my own home. My neighbors were playing loud music in the room above me. The urge to read the pamphlet remained. My curiosity must have been getting the better of me.<br />
<br />
I slowly put the pamphlet down, almost reconsidering my decision but instead decided to leave it on my kitchen table. I went into my bedroom and slid into my covers. The time was about 10:47 as I drifted off into a deep sleep.<br />
<br />
That night, I had a strange dream.<br />
<br />
I was in a large field. The sky was gray and the grass was yellow and tall. I felt cold. The surroundings were desolate and foreboding. As I inspected the surroundings I realized that this dream was incredibly vivid compared to most other dreams I have. As my eyes scanned the horizon, I spotted something out the corner of my eye, almost indistinguishable, but yet, I could see every movement from afar. In the distance, I could see someone. They were entirely draped in a sickly shade of green. Whoever it may have been, they were twitching. Almost uncontrollably. I attempted to move towards them, but it felt like my feet were stuck in something. Something soft, and something warm. Gelatin? Vaseline?<br />
<br />
I heard a rustling behind me, a twig snapping. I whipped around and the dream went to black. The rest of the night, I had no dreams, and I woke up shivering, feeling strange. I brushed it off as a side effect of the odd dream.<br />
<br />
I dressed myself and brushed my teeth. I looked in the mirror. My skin was pale. Paler than I&rsquo;ve ever seen. It looked as though all my blood had been drained from my body, leaving only the white skin.<br />
<br />
I walked into the kitchen and I saw it. The gray paper with its running colors. Still looking at me. I was suddenly very cold. The same cold from the dream. I was intimidated. I was intimidated by a piece of paper. I don&rsquo;t know why it was just so&hellip; ominous. And strange. I had never felt this way about a piece of paper.<br />
<br />
I decided to pick it up. I touched the pamphlet. It was ice cold. I opened it and read.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;You have a special somebody who lives in your lungs. They like you. But they are shy. They only come out when you are alone. Here is how to talk to them.<br />
<br />
Step 1. Breathe deeply. Say hi. You are not afraid. Are you? They like you. You don&rsquo;t have to be afraid. You won&rsquo;t hurt, I promise.<br />
<br />
We are smiling at you.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
I was confused. Say hi? To the person in my lungs? Why are they living in my lungs? I won&rsquo;t hurt? Who is smiling at me? It was silent. Completely silent. I decided to do as the pamphlet said. I inhaled deeply and said &ldquo;hi&rdquo; softly. Nothing happened. I decided to put the pamphlet away and save the rest of the reading for after work.<br />
<br />
I walked to work. My coworkers were silent, as they usually are. But instead of the typing of computers or movement of machines, there was nothing. Absolute, dead silence, the kind of silence that makes you go mad. It was&hellip; deafening. I hastily finished my work and left the building to get a cup of coffee.<br />
I arrived home about an hour later. It was now 9:24. The pamphlet lay open on the table, tempting me to continue reading it.<br />
I gave in to my temptations and picked it up and read.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Step 2. Be cold. Don&rsquo;t go to sleep, not yet. They want to see your eyes. Take one tablespoon of the oil. Eat it. Shut your eyes. Don&rsquo;t yell. Don&rsquo;t scream. DON&rsquo;T&rdquo;<br />
<br />
(The rest of this section was undecipherable, the ink that it was written in was smudged.)<br />
<br />
The second section, as expected, was equally as strange, if not stranger than the first section. Questions ran through my mind. The oil? What oil was the pamphlet talking about? This was the part that confused me the most, alongside the part that was smudged by the rain. I expected it would be some sort of brewed oil, with a recipe for it. I had no idea where to start looking for the oil. Perhaps there was explanation in the next step, I pondered.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Step 3: HappyhappyhappyhappyhappyHAPPYHAPPPY. Be happy. Start talking. Say how you are. You want to make them happy. You are happy. We like to happy with you.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
As I thought, there wasn&rsquo;t any inkling to as to what the oil could be. It seemed that the author, whoever he or she was, was almost completely losing his sanity at this point. This obsession with almost chilling happiness was starting to freak me out, and I closed the pamphlet and headed upstairs to my bedroom. I got underneath the covers and my head hit the pillow.<br />
<br />
I had the same dream I had last night, the only difference was that the man in green was closer. He was much, much closer. I woke up promptly in a cold sweat at 3:27 AM, and couldn&rsquo;t bring myself back to sleep. I had the sudden urge to go downstairs and read the pamphlet.<br />
<br />
I saw the pamphlet on the table, but something was&hellip; off. Everything on my desk was very organized, and I saw a small envelope on my desk.<br />
<br />
I rushed towards it and ripped it open. Inside was a napkin, with a crude smiley face scrawled hastily onto it. I remember specifically at this point the gravity of my situation. I had no recollection of making this note. There were no signs of a break-in, as far as I could tell. The beats in my heart began to move faster and faster as I approached the pamphlet. I opened it and on the first three steps, there was the same crude smiley face scribbled all over. I caught my breath and held it for a moment before breathing out with a wheeze. I was, at this point, terrified. The questions rushed through my head. Who the fuck was the man in green, and more importantly, how did all these smileys get into my apartment?<br />
I began to read the fourth step.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Step 4: Do you see them? LOOK.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
I was beyond scared at this point. Look at WHAT? I was confused and I was terrified of the monstrosity I had brought into my home. Hands shaking, I read the next step. There only had to be a few left, right?<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Step 5: They will say hi. You have made a friend. You are not alone. You are never alone.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
My main question at this point, was who would say hi? Nobody was inside my apartment, as far as I knew. My heart was beating at a million miles an hour. Fumbling with the pages, I turned to the next and final step, which was not really a step, but more of a statement.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Final Step: You&rsquo;re never without your happy friend in your lung. You can sleep now without waking up.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
The author&rsquo;s obsession with happiness was almost cruel to the reader. It was haunting, the way whoever wrote this put it.<br />
Somehow, my heart beat faster, and faster, and J felt woozy. I was confused, terrified and alone. The last thing I remember before blacking out was a raspy breathing behind me.<br />
<br />
I woke up two days later in my bed. Had it been a dream? The paper was nowhere in sight. I walked down to the kitchen, and my eyes lit upon the paper. It had been real. My heart sank. The sun was setting. Rubbing my bleary eyes, I picked up the paper and turned to the back.<br />
Scrawled on the back of the pamphlet was the following:<br />
<br />
NEVER ALONE NEVER ALONE NEVER ALONE THEYRE HERE NEVER ALONE I DONT LIKE THIS IM NOT ALONE I LIKE YOU I LIKE YOU I CAN SEEEEEEEEE YOU YOU LITTLE FRIEND I WANT TO TOUCH YOU NOW LET ME SEE YOU I LIKE YOU IM GONNA FEEL ALL OF YOUR LITTLE INSIDES MY VERY SPECIAL FRIEND<br />
<br />
Underneath the inscription, there was a smiley face.<br />
<br />
And from behind me, I heard a raspy, shallow voice.<br />
<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[The first thing you should know about me is that I&rsquo;m very faint of heart.<br />
<br />
There&rsquo;s a pamphlet I&rsquo;ve been looking for for a while now. I remember coming across it a while ago while I was a child. I was at the doctor&rsquo;s office, the waiting room, getting a physical. The year was 2002. I was born in 1996.<br />
<br />
That&rsquo;s when I saw it. Strewn within the other celebrity or glamor magazines, it peeked out with one, single, gray corner.<br />
It was almost like it was looking at me. I picked it up and read the title.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;How to Talk to Yourself.&rdquo; by a man named Roger Harrison. There was no graphic, just the white background and the arial font reading the title and the author.<br />
<br />
To this day, I&rsquo;ve never been able to find out who the mysterious Roger Harrison was. I&rsquo;ve spent countless hours on the internet browsing for someone, anyone who remotely matched my quarry.<br />
<br />
Last week, I found a tattered piece of paper plastered to a sewer grate, colors running from the recent rain. I picked it up, and I read the title. It was the very same pamphlet from my childhood. The one I remember so very clearly on that one day in the waiting room.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;How to Talk to Yourself&rdquo;.<br />
<br />
I quickly stuffed it in my bag. I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, the feeling you get when you&rsquo;re being watched. I was in a crowded square in the middle of a city. Surely, it was a coincidence.<br />
<br />

      <title>Story: The First by David Crossley</title>
      <description><![CDATA[I&rsquo;ll always remember my first pick up. It&rsquo;s one of those things. Like your first love, your first car, or your first pet, but they are good memories. My first job is stored away in my bad memories box, but often comes to mind to send a shudder down my spine. I have seen worse since, but that was my first and I was a virgin to death then.<br />
For the first three days I didn&acute;t see a corpse. I was washing cars, cleaning coffins, learning procedures, all the basic stuff. I was starting to think this job would be easy, then one night they called me on the mobile phone to go to a scene. We went to an apartment building in a less than desirable part of town. The apartment was on the seventh floor. When we reached the door to the apartment I was told by my partner to wait outside. Waiting in the hallway I could smell the stench of death which was unfamiliar to me. It was overpowering all my senses and I had to fight the urge to throw up. My mind was filled with images of what I would see inside. My breathing got heavier and I started to sweat, my heart racing. I was told it was time to go in. I thought to myself, here we go. I walked in and the scene before me was nothing like what I expect to see.<br />
<br />
The small one room apartment was decorated in dark greens and browns with stained carpets and empty food cartons everywhere. The smell of urine and stale blood filled the air along with rotting food and of course rotting flesh. In the centre of the room there was a large bed. The sheets were once white but were now black with the juices of a decaying body. In the centre of the bed was a huge woman. She was laying on her side naked on the bed. The skin was white, but all the veins were black. Every vein in her body was black and visible through the white skin which looked like porcelain. The skin was bubbling up in large boils of gas. The boils were moving as the gasses expanded. She had been dead for two weeks and it was August. In the heat she had blown up like a balloon. She was covered in shit all over her legs but it had gone black. The doctor asked &ldquo;what is that black thing there?&rdquo; We said &ldquo;its shit&rdquo; He said &ldquo;no, no there&rdquo; and pointed to her legs. We said &ldquo;yes its shit!&rdquo;<br />
<br />
Once it was time to move her we had to grab her without getting covered in shit, on our shoes or any of the jellied blood and peeling skin on our suits. We also had to be carefull not to pull too hard or the skin would give way and slide off the muscle. We call that onion skin in the industry. We were trying to get her in the body bag but she was amazingly heavy and with very little to grip onto it took a lot of work. Some boils had burst and the liquid began to drip from the open holes. We finally got her into the bag and just managed to close the zip. My partner helped me to carry her out of the apartment which was a tight squeeze and getting through the door took a bit of persuasion.<br />
<br />
Once we got to the lift we could see there was not enough room for the three of us. I went down in the lift with the body bag propped up against the wall. The body liquid was dripping out of the body bag into the lift. It was all over my shoes. I was looking forward to getting cleaned up and getting the smell off my clothes. Then the lift stopped and the doors opened. There stood a family ready to enter the lift with all their beach stuff. As they saw me and the body bag the smell hit them. They looked in shock and stepped away wretching. I smiled and hit the button repeatedly to close the door. I think they won&rsquo;t forget that image for a while. Just like I will never forget that pick up.<br />Tags: <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/death">Death</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/true+story">True Story</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/graphic">Graphic</a>]]></description>

      <title>Story: Crumbs by Daffni</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Crumbs fall between my thighs as I munch on my favorite sugar wafers from the Dollar Store. He leans over, looks at me in disgust, then suggests we come up with a way to recreate Heydrich&rsquo;s gas chambers. He lists off the names of all the people he would shove inside and then admits most of us should probably just volunteer ourselves to go in. Such a disgusting destructive people we are. I begin to draw out a blueprint, but then we grow bored of the whole idea and make love the rest of the night. So much more exciting to see him scream out in agony and hatred when I pull on his balls too hard. I think I felt some skin tear. In the middle of the everglades, bald birds begin to blockade my car. They look like scavengers and I&rsquo;m sure they are hoping for some left over crumbs to fall out of my car. As soon as they get too close, some gypsy women throws bread and they all swarm her. Relieved, I continue on with my adventure. The heat shuts me down to a sluggish pace and the sweat makes me chafe. What I would give for an ice cold beverage would make me inhumane. Still waiting for that offer, I drink one of my disgustingly warm lemonades that was left outside in 100 degree weather. It&rsquo;s disgusting how much lemonade resembles piss when it&rsquo;s warm. Either way, I drink it to the last sip. We devour everything and it only reinforces the fact that satisfaction was left in Eden. Even the gods crave destruction. Days pass and still I&rsquo;m stuck with pissy warm lemonade, the birds still scavenge, and the plans for our recreation still sits in the backseat on the floor.<br />
<br />
A couple days go by....<br />
<br />
Washing up at the first highway rest stop I can find, I look at myself in the reflection and think showering is over rated. When I sit down to pee I realize how much I miss it. Old cheese wouldn&rsquo;t describe the scent that eluded from my drawers. Aw well, I shrug. I remove my scent stained panties and toss them in the bin where people put used tampons. They&rsquo;re of no use to me now. As I walk back to my home on wheels, I pray that Marilyn Monroe&rsquo;s spirit doesn&rsquo;t float by and blow my dress up while I&rsquo;m pantie-less. That would sure be a site to see. In the front seat, staring out the window in front of me, I have no where to go, suddenly a flying brick smashes the window in front of me. I reach in the back to grab hold of something and find some papers to shield my face from the horizontal rains spraying into the frame of my front window. Pulling the shards out of my cheeks, I thank God I wasn&rsquo;t blinded this time. As I inspect the papers I used as a shield, a sudden rush of guilt and shame drowns me. Tears flood my hands faster than my mind can feed me any words or symbols. To imagine someone planning such an evil act tears me apart far worse than any shattered windshield could. The dehydrated side of me thinks much differently than the drunk side. But being in no state is more of a challenge than either of those. I crawl to the back seat and lose myself for a bit longer until sleep washes over me and takes me into a numb waste of mind, hoping this rest can at least heal the wounds on my face.<br />Tags: <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/dark+world">Dark World</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/dark+mind">Dark Mind</a>]]></description>

      <title>Story: The Way I Am by Dissentient</title>
      <description><![CDATA[We&#039;re exhausted and our souls have grown weary. Just like the clothes you wore wear out, your soul also wears out. Soon, the tiredness will overwhelm all and there will only be a darkness surrounding the hopes of the souls&#039; wandering. &quot;Does life matter? Does it matter? Does it?&quot; we ask these questions many times. We struggle and frantically kick the air about us but we hit nothing. We&#039;re all alone. We suffer alone, and all we love, we love alone. <br />
<br />
Some love wishes are granted, and some are rejected. Some death wishes are granted, and some are rejected. Some hope wishes are granted, but some are crushed. The world we live in is as such. Crying out, &quot;Cruel!&quot; doesn&#039;t help anyone. No one cares, no one sees. No one sees the hand drowning in the midst of the crowd and assuming it as a waving hand, non fathom. Non pay attention to the destructive fire within people and regret being blind. All we are capable of is regretting. All we ever had to do was just see before another death&#039;s occurrence, yet our eyes have been purged by our own souls and we no longer feel. Thus we search for a fragile thing called love to find meaning.<br />
<br />
We accept the love we think we deserve. That love is however not heaven nor hell but instead, it is a shallow cave that we take shelter in temporarily. The shadow of a blanket covers our shivering body and we sigh. But it&#039;s just a shelter from rain that will erode away and once it does, we search for it again. The fate of our kind, so glorious and yet so pitiful, is doomed. Our world has always been a paradoxical contradiction. Knowledge destroys our minds and the tragedy slowly comes to an end...<br />
<br />
A subtle thought can turn into a tragedy.. And once it does, there&#039;s no stopping it. Quietly, oh so quietly, we cry in our bed even while knowing that it won&#039;t make a difference. The dramatic moments in our life that we create are all dull memories that we all know one day will be forgotten, and we are all actors. Actors like us will age and turn into what we came from; we came from dust. A story can be written, but it will no longer be read. A song can be sung but it will no longer be heard. Numerous feelings will be left behind, but they will no longer be felt. A piece of our hearts will be left behind, but they will no longer be remembered... <br />
<br />
This is the way I am. This is the way I see and think. Who understand me when I say that this is beautiful?<br />Tags: <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/Life">Life</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/Insight">Insight</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/Tragedy">Tragedy</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/Paradox">Paradox</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/Beauty">Beauty</a>]]></description>

      <title>Story: Isobell Jankans by Death</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Isobell Jankans is a beautiful young woman. Dyed black hair, silver eyes, pale skin, black finger nails, full lips. She feels no pain. Ever.<br />
 Isobell was sitting at her table with her go things when the most &quot;popular&quot; prissy princess stopped behind her. <br />
&quot;You always know when she&#039;s on her period, Belle,&quot; she says.<br />
&quot;How Clem?&quot;<br />
She&#039;s crabber than usual, Belle.&quot; They laughed and started to walk away slowly.<br />
<br />
&quot;Who are you talking about, Clem?&quot;<br />
&quot;Why, Isobell Jankans of course!&quot;<br />
<br />
Now you see, Isobell got to mad, she made a master plan in her head, that she was going to carry out on her own, but 2 of her little gothlings,Raven and Zander, wanted to help. So she told them the plan.<br />
<br />
5 hours and 33 seconds later, they had Clem and Belle tied down in metal chairs in Isobell&#039;s soundproof basement.<br />
&quot;You hag!&quot; Clem yelled. &quot;Let us go! HELP! HHEELLPP!&quot;<br />
<br />
&quot;Scream all you want, Orange. Nobody can hear you. Why are you named after an orange? Clementine. A little juicy orange.&quot;<br />
&quot;They named me Clementine because they thought I looked juicy. It&#039;s so embarrassing.&quot;<br />
<br />
Isobell picked up a large curved knife and cut deeply on both of their arms. Blood spotted out and they yelled in pain. &quot;I just cut your artery in your arms. You only have about 4 or 5 minutes to live. You know,&quot; Isobell Jankans walked around her pray. &quot;I wonder how it feels to feel pain. Will you tell me?&quot;<br />
<br />
&quot;Agony,&quot; Belle moaned. &quot;Makes me want to pass out.&quot;<br />
<br />
While Belle was talking, Isobell nodded at Zander and Raven to start their part. They came out and started to punch, kick, slap the girls. Clementine and Belle yelled and screamed in pain as they slowly died.<br />
<br />
&quot;Stop,&quot; Isobell said. &quot;My turn.&quot;<br />
She stepped up to them and said, &quot;this isn&#039;t me on my period. This is me being nice.&quot; Then they died from bleeding to death. <br />
&quot;And that,&quot; Zander said, &quot;is why we do what we do.&quot;<br />
<br />
The next day, people wouldn&#039;t stop talking about the murder of Clementine Hall and Belle Meade. Nobody know who did it or why because &quot;they were the best girls on the planet&quot; or &quot;everybody liked them because they were so nice.&quot;<br />
<br />
Everybody came up to Isobell, Zander, and Raven to ask them what it was like to find the bodies at the park.<br />
&quot;It was so scary,&quot; Raven said while tearing up. &quot; We didn&#039;t know what to do! Who would do such a thing?!&quot;<br />
Nobody knew their little secret, and that little secret felt good.<br />
Really good.<br />
Good enough to do it again.<br />Tags: <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/murder">Murder</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/torture">Torture</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/hate">Hate</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/graphic">Graphic</a>]]></description>

      <title>Story: Sleepless Nights by Brandon Crooms</title>
      <description><![CDATA[At first, it&rsquo;s like any other day. I awakened, showered, brewed my morning cup of joe, and that is when I first saw&hellip;outside, there was nothing&hellip;no moonlight, stars, or anything! It was like an endless black void of space. My mind was racing; Where was I&hellip;What is going on&hellip;Why is this happening? I caught myself and thought that maybe it is just extremely dark outside because the lights are not working.<br />
     Standing there in front of the window, I carefully sipped my coffee&hellip;cautious not to burn my tongue. I paused, patiently, to try to see if the lights will come back on, or that I will see some shred of moonlight in the nighttime sky. &ldquo;Maybe I should just go and lay back down.&rdquo;, I thought to myself. Turning around to leave, I noticed that all of my furniture has disappeared. &ldquo;Where did all of my stuff go.&rdquo;, I said worryingly. The hallway seemed to go dimmer by the second, as if the lights were running out of power. I could feel my heartbeat grow more rapidly, like a composer ordering an accelerando for an explosive ending. <br />
<br />
     I froze&hellip;listening in to every sound and echo, expecting to catch an unfamiliar noise. But, I hear absolutely  nothing, and after ten minutes, I gave up hope. Starting to calm down, I attempted to guide my way back to my bedroom to try to catch some shut-eye. I ignored the non-existent furniture, and wished that it wasn&rsquo;t the same case for my bed, and made my way back. It was almost halfway, when I heard a loud crash that came from outside. The sound made me jump out of my skin! Though curiosity got the best of me, and I opened my front door to see what fell. <br />
<br />
     I almost FAINTED because what I saw was&hellip;a normal spring day. The fresh air seeped into my lungs, clearing my head, and the sounds of the singing birds drilled its way into my ears. I gazed behind me, then forward, and then behind again&hellip;confused. I decided to walk around my house and check each window&hellip;to see if there was something blocking the light. Each window was clear, and I could see inside with ease, and to my amazement&hellip;my furniture as well. I ran back inside to see if I could get the same results. The front door slammed shut behind me, and the room went pitch black. <br />
<br />
     Struggling to find my way, I walked around hoping to bump into my couch&hellip;but I didn&rsquo;t. In fact, I never bumped into anything at all. It seemed like all of my furniture was gone again! &ldquo;Did I just teleport into a black hole?&rdquo; There was no sound, light, or objects. I couldn&rsquo;t even hear myself think&hellip;I don&rsquo;t know if I was panicking, or what! There was a sound behind me, like a door opening, and a glimmer of light shown through. I walked towards the blinding light&hellip;and I started to hear voices. The farther I walked, the smaller the light became&hellip;breaking out into a sprint, the light becomes as tiny as a pinprick but it was still enough for me to see. The voices were growing and growing, until they were shouting in my face! &ldquo;SOMEBODY&hellip;. HELP&hellip;. SHE NEEDS&hellip;&rdquo; Then, all was calm.<br />
<br />
(Faint voices)<br />
&ldquo;Doctor, is she going to be okay?&rdquo; <br />
&ldquo;Yes&hellip;I gave her a heavy dose of anesthesia to help her insomnia. She should be sleeping well at the moment.&rdquo;<br />
&ldquo;She gave us quite the scare, didn&rsquo;t she Doc?&rdquo;<br />
&ldquo;Yes&hellip;it seems like her nightmares are getting worse. Maybe our only option, right now, is to perform a lobotomy.&rdquo; <br />
&ldquo;Oh, my&hellip; Are you&hellip; (become muffled and fades away)<br />Tags: <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/suspense">Suspense</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/dreams">Dreams</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/horror">Horror</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/fear">Fear</a>]]></description>

<br />
     Struggling to find my way, I walked around hoping to bump into my couch&hellip;but I didn&rsquo;t. In fact, I never bumped into anything at all. It seemed like all of my furniture was gone again! &ldquo;Did I just teleport into a black hole?&rdquo; There was no sound, light, or objects. I couldn&rsquo;t even hear myself think&hellip;I don&rsquo;t know if I was panicking, or what! There was a sound behind me, like a door opening, and a glimmer of light shown through. I walked towards the blinding light&hellip;and I started to hear voices. The farther I walked, the smaller the light became&hellip;breaking out into a sprint, the light becomes as tiny as a pinprick but it was still enough for me to see. The voices were growing and growing, until they were shouting in my face! &ldquo;SOMEBODY&hellip;. HELP&hellip;. SHE NEEDS&hellip;&rdquo; Then, all was calm.<br />
<br />
(Faint voices)<br />
&ldquo;Doctor, is she going to be okay?&rdquo; <br />
&ldquo;Yes&hellip;I gave her a heavy dose of anesthesia to help her insomnia. She should be sleeping well at the moment.&rdquo;<br />
&ldquo;She gave us quite the scare, didn&rsquo;t she Doc?&rdquo;<br />
&ldquo;Yes&hellip;it seems like her nightmares are getting worse. Maybe our only option, right now, is to perform a lobotomy.&rdquo; <br />
&ldquo;Oh, my&hellip; Are you&hellip; (become muffled and fades away)<br />Tags: <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/suspense">Suspense</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/dreams">Dreams</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/horror">Horror</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/stories/tag/fear">Fear</a>]]></content:encoded>

I&#039;ve been here too long<br />
So I wrote you this song<br />
<br />
Good-bye, my love, good-bye<br />
May my soul rest in peace<br />
May the voices all cease<br />
<br />
They whisper in my ear<br />
They tell me what to say<br />
They keep to my side<br />
All night and all day<br />
I can&#039;t take it anymore<br />

Now I&#039;m takin&#039; my gun<br />
<br />
Good night, my love, good night<br />
Gonna end all this pain<br />
Before it makes me insane<br />

They beg me to do<br />
Such horrible things<br />
They play with my mind<br />
They make me ashamed<br />
I&#039;m afraid they&#039;re going to make me<br />
Hurt you<br />
<br />
I think I&#039;ll take away<br />
All the torture in my mind<br />
But now you must defray<br />
For the cost of suicide<br />

The last time you touched me<br />
I was lyin&#039; on the floor<br />

Over the seven seas careened<br />
In beauty yet unseen<br />
A withered rose in bloom<br />

In her own peculiar ways<br />

I&#039;ve been here too long<br />
So I wrote you this song<br />
<br />
Good-bye, my love, good-bye<br />
May my soul rest in peace<br />
May the voices all cease<br />
<br />
They whisper in my ear<br />
They tell me what to say<br />
They keep to my side<br />
All night and all day<br />
I can&#039;t take it anymore<br />
So I&#039;ve gotta go away<br />
<br />
Good night, my love, good night<br />
I said good-bye to the sun<br />
Now I&#039;m takin&#039; my gun<br />
<br />
Good night, my love, good night<br />
Gonna end all this pain<br />
Before it makes me insane<br />
<br />
They beg me to do<br />
Such horrible things<br />
They play with my mind<br />
They make me ashamed<br />
I&#039;m afraid they&#039;re going to make me<br />
Hurt you<br />
<br />
I think I&#039;ll take away<br />
All the torture in my mind<br />
But now you must defray<br />
For the cost of suicide<br />
<br />
Bonjour, my love, bonjour<br />
The last time you touched me<br />
I was lyin&#039; on the floor<br />
<br />
Bonjour, my love, I&#039;m near<br />
It&#039;s my voice you hear<br />
So you mustn&#039;t fear<br />
<br />
You can&#039;t see me in your room<br />
I&#039;m here every night<br />
I whisper in your ear<br />
As I watch you sleep tight<br />
I&#039;m with you &#039;til the end<br />
I&#039;ll show you what&#039;s wrong and what&#039;s right<br />Tags: <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/songs/tag/Harley+Poe">Harley Poe</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/songs/tag/gothic">Gothic</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/songs/tag/soul">Soul</a>]]></description>

After her class mates taunt her about her horrified reaction to her totally unexpected first period one of them takes pity on her and gets Tommy Ross, her boyfriend and class hunk to invite Carrie to the senior prom. Meanwhile another girl who has been banned from the prom for her continued aggressive behaviour is not as forgiving and plans a trick to embarrass Carrie in front of the whole school.

Two men move in next door, and for Charlie with his horror movie experience, there can be no doubt that their strange behavior is explained by the fact that they are a vampire and his undead day guardian. The only one who can help him hunt them down is a washed-up actor, Peter Vincent, who hosts Charlie&#039;s favorite TV show, Fright Night. Vincent doesn&#039;t really believe that vampires exist, but does it for the money.<br /><div class="youtube"><iframe class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="500" height="350" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/1ISgM9sjza8?rel=0&autohide=0" frameborder="0">

your fingernails painted black<br />

And your fake-leather volumes<br />
jabbering on hell<br />
manifest decadence was what you hoped to exhail<br />

		</iframe></div><br />Snowflakes descend upon<br />
This frozen river of blood<br />
And winter comes once more<br />
To bring us fear and pain<br />
It&rsquo;s time for answers now<br />
It&rsquo;s time to heal our pride<br />
<br />
And now the world is turning grey<br />
Hope is gone in a day<br />
Welcome to the place where sun is cold<br />
Where the birds will never sing<br />
The ground will warm our frozen bones<br />
But too late<br />
Here comes the death<br />
<br />
The fog devours our path<br />
We lose our will to live<br />
The season of doubt has come<br />
And stars are falling down<br />
It&rsquo;s time for answers now<br />
It&rsquo;s time to heal our pride<br />
<br />
And now the world is turning grey<br />
Hope is gone in a day<br />
Welcome to the place where sun is cold<br />
Where the birds will never sing<br />
The ground will warm our frozen bones<br />
But too late<br />
Here comes the death<br />
<br />
(We&rsquo;re slowly fading like the dew<br />
Gently staying for a while<br />
Making precious what is crude<br />
Sic transit gloria mundi<br />

This frozen river of blood<br />
And winter comes once more<br />
To bring us fear and pain<br />
It&rsquo;s time for answers now<br />
It&rsquo;s time to heal our pride<br />
<br />
And now the world is turning grey<br />
Hope is gone in a day<br />
Welcome to the place where sun is cold<br />
Where the birds will never sing<br />
The ground will warm our frozen bones<br />
But too late<br />
Here comes the death<br />
<br />
The fog devours our path<br />
We lose our will to live<br />
The season of doubt has come<br />
And stars are falling down<br />
It&rsquo;s time for answers now<br />
It&rsquo;s time to heal our pride<br />
<br />
And now the world is turning grey<br />
Hope is gone in a day<br />
Welcome to the place where sun is cold<br />
Where the birds will never sing<br />
The ground will warm our frozen bones<br />
But too late<br />
Here comes the death<br />

(We&rsquo;re slowly fading like the dew<br />
Gently staying for a while<br />
Making precious what is crude<br />
Sic transit gloria mundi<br />

      <title>Song: a gothic love by current 93</title>

		</iframe></div><br />I`m clicking your fingers for a gothic twilight<br />
that actually existed just in your head<br />
your fingernails painted black<br />
or bloodred<br />
I forget<br />
<br />
And your fake-leather volumes<br />
jabbering on hell<br />
manifest decadence was what you hoped to exhail<br />
your eyes tried so hard to glitter<br />
<br />
A star-snuffing black<br />
so you opened your books<br />
and you opened your legs<br />
and so opened your heart<br />
and let in the badness<br />
you claimed<br />
as your friend<br />
with un-angels hovering<br />
like flies round the orchard<br />
that had covered your soul<br />
their empire increasing<br />
and your country<br />
deserted by yourself<br />
<br />
The bells of St. Mary call us to remember<br />
that life is with end<br />
and the gestures can kill us<br />
moreover destroy<br />
and there is one jugdement only<br />
<br />
Your letters came daily<br />
in French or in German<br />
but they meant to me nothing<br />
I caught the slow cords<br />
and dry ice fogging your mind<br />
I see all too clearly now<br />
why you should be discarded<br />
and though I could pray for you<br />
I probably shan`t<br />
having had my cup filled up<br />
with your lies<br />
and your makeup<br />
you were nothing<br />
thinking you`re something<br />
<br />
And nonetheless I still write this gothic lovesong<br />
a sign to myself<br />
and the memory of my past<br />
I still write this gothic lovesong<br />
and the memory of my past<br />

      <title>Song: Dirty Night Clowns by Garneau, Chris</title>

		</iframe></div><br />Pick me up, hose me down<br />
I&#039;m sorry, boys, about the dirty night clowns<br />
Earth does break the things that we make<br />
Like model planes, and cuppy cakes<br />
<br />
I can&#039;t clear the leaves from here<br />
They&#039;re too far under the brush this year<br />
I can&#039;t clear the leaves from here<br />
They&#039;re too far under the brush this year<br />
<br />
Let them be buried, buried alive<br />
In their suits, in their ties<br />
Trees to shade the moves that they made<br />
In their suits, in their ties<br />
Let them be buried, buried alive<br />
In their suits, in their ties<br />
You&#039;re safe here, now you&#039;re in the clear<br />
Now we&#039;ll eat soup and apple pies<br />
<br />
I can&#039;t clear the leaves from here<br />
They&#039;re too far under the brush this year<br />
I can&#039;t clear the leaves from here<br />
They&#039;re too far under the brush this year<br />
<br />
I will never be dirt-free<br />
Up the stairs come find me,<br />
Come sneak up behind me<br />
I&#039;ll be sleeping soundly<br />
Like a baby<br />
<br />
(La da da da da da da dum<br />
da da da da dum)<br />
x2<br />
<br />
I can&#039;t clear the leaves from here<br />
They&#039;re too far under the brush this year.<br />

      <title>Article: Top 5 Dark Songs</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>I listen to dark music when I want some time alone to myself because I want to sink into imagination that takes me away from the hassles of this word. And today I will take you through five of my favorite dark songs that I recommend you should listen to.</p>

<p>Among the many dark songs that I have come across, I like &quot;<a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/songs/song/27" target="_blank">Seven Sirens and a Silver Tear</a> by Sirenia&quot; the most. It has a classical rhythm about it and makes you listen to more. The piano keynotes, as they get higher take you into a dreamy, lonely place. I imagine myself running through dark, misty woods towards a ray of light yet the more I run the farther the light seems to be. It&rsquo;s drizzling and the clouds are thundering yet I fight my way through the raindrops. The higher the keynotes get the faster I run and I&rsquo;m running to an elevation now. This music takes me into deeper imagination and I can actually feel the cold and the rain drops on my face.</p>

<p>I also like the number <em>&quot;<a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/songs/song/1" target="_blank">Save Me from Myself</a> by Sirenia&quot; </em>because it talks of freedom of a dark soul. I like the beat and the lyrics most. Listening to this song I can picture a helpless soul that is imprisoned by its own thoughts, hurt and feelings. It talks of a time when you feel like you have had enough of this world and of your own desires, emotions (another dark side of the soul) and all you want to do is to break free from it all.</p>

<p>The next most favorite dark song of mine is the <em>&quot;<a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/songs/song/36" target="_blank">X-files Theme song</a> by Mark Snow&quot;. </em>The music is creepy yet rhythmic and it makes the listener wander into another world. It makes you enter the world of super natural where nothing is usual; everything is creepy and mysterious. With each rising note the creepiness heightens and you may feel the chill running down your spine as you imagine horrible, spooky, mysterious things from the dark side. Because it&rsquo;s the theme song of a serial that revolves around paranormal activities and unknown creatures of the universe; listening to it immediately reminds of the serial and the many interestingly creepy episodes.</p>

<p><em>&quot;<a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/songs/song/16" target="_blank">Lies</a> by Evanescence&quot; </em>is yet another all time favorite dark song of mine. I love this lady&rsquo;s voice and the themes that she picks to sing about. This song reflects a broken, tormented heart and soul. The agony is evident from her voice and the beat seems to show the intensity of the pain felt. The lyrics are amazing as they speak of betrayal. Being in this world of lies and dishonesty it has become so easy to relate to songs of this nature. They speak of the darkness of souls who have become indifferent to mankind.</p>

<p>I remember by first breakup, my first ever heart break and I remember how I used to listen to <em>&quot;<a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/songs/song/12" target="_blank">My Immortal </a>by Evanescence&quot;</em> over and over again. I could feel her sing my emotions and all that I wanted to scream and shout. As I write this it still brings a little tear at the corner of my eyes how hurt I was and how real I had always thought the relationship was. Well, so to say this song really hits me like an arrow in the heart when I think of how deep and how honest one&rsquo;s emotions can be while on the other hand how cruel the response could be.</p>

<p>These songs I can never get off my hit list as they take me to the dark side; away from this material world.</p><br />Tags: <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/articles/tag/dark+songs">Dark Songs</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/articles/tag/songs">Songs</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/articles/tag/top">Top</a>, <a href="http://www.loverofdarkness.net/articles/tag/song">Song</a>]]></description>
