And as I turned the corner Into her old room I saw what I had been warned not to see. The apparition. To describe its features would be a great feat; It had no features so to speak Just a vague veil Of a time and place gone by. In truth it was not terrifying to look at, In fact it was rather soothing; The history kept behind the pale old eyes Kept me drawn to its pale old face. I was rather calmed by its presence Until suddenly features started to appear On its cold dead face And what had previously been a vacant plane Was now the vessel of a horrifying creature. And the sound. The sound which shattered all the windows And had with it a tone of fury and anger Which made my ears cry out in contempt. And at that point I understood it. Why it was called what it was. When I’d heard the cautionary tales of Draymore I assumed they were nothing but wild fantasy. But with her scream of a shivering evil With no compassion in the tone I realised why They called her the scream.

The Scream
