Darkness consumes the room;
time is running out, the end is coming soon.
The moon grins wickedly,
waiting silently for the story to unfold.
Alone she stood in the corner,
eyes closed, but face plastered with horror
feeling the presence of the man who dared enter the house,
the house that blinded her soul.
The intruder observed her cautiously,
as she whispered ominously,
"It's coming, it's coming."
Turn back, warned a voice in the man's head,
but he stood there frozen like ice instead.
Suddenly, her pupilless eyes snapped open wide
as the wails from inside
escaped her mouth and shook the world.
Overwhelming malicious power surge through her
while her black-and-white vision began to blur.
Her hands clamped onto her head
as she collided with the ground.
With that, the man held his heart as she fell,
his lifeless body helping increase the pile of other dead souls.
"Hear the screams of death!" the female spirit proclaimed,
with a voice the sound of broken glass.
Then the banshee went to rest until the time came again.
This was an old assignment early in the school year. I rediscovered it and decided to share it with you (though I found an embarrassing error).
