In the empty corner of my room, ten thousand black eyes stared back at me from a shape stitched into the dark; still as death, yet somehow breathing with the room. I held my breath, my back pressed against the headboard, heartbeat pounding loud enough to betray my location. The crack on my wall looked like a roadway; another split beneath it, that formed a crossroads— like the walls themselves were guiding the thing closer. Then it suddenly twitched. Every hair on my body rose right alongside whatever black fur covered its limbs. I shut my eyes tight, counting breaths like prayers… one… two…three… When I opened them again, the corner was empty. “ Oh crap…” I said under my breath. Because a monster you can see is one thing— but a spider that disappears in your bedroom at night… feels almost supernatural. THE END?

a horror story in two sentences
The gritty, grinding Of the Langoleers Sawing and gnawing The bringers of fear My mind is their playground They are all that I hear They are the Langoleers, I tell you - And they're at it again I am trapped in their torrent - Their tormenting pen They've knocked me out for the count, Now they're gloating And ready to win They're pouncing on my pain And stirring up sin They boast of their victory Wearing a despicable grin This sinister cycle of seismic suffering Is all that these ******* Langoleers Have been offering I look towards the future - Fiery hell is all that I'm seeing As I watch these wretched Langoleers Torture my entire being While in their grasp, There is no hope for escape There is no hope for a freeing As I scream in endless agony - I'll eternally be seething They are the Langoleers And this is my story Forgive me, friends, If my tale is quite gory But they are the Langoleers That's just how they've rolled Now I am just glad That my stories been told This is the story of the Langoleers My torment My darkness The source of my fears Take note, and beware The horror The nightmare Of the Langoleers

The Langoleers
By Arcassin Burnham I gotta be a man for you, Eliminate The circumstance for you, There's no other quick way to prove, How deeply I'm so in love with you, We create our own little horror story, Witches and covens make the best out of a love spell, I couldn't tell, You give me no hell, But you make me tear up when I stare down at you, Watching the light as it propelled, Giving pride to others when you react alot, Serving the audience like giving out crack, In plastic bags where the dreams grow, So does the shrums, I swear your ambition can consume, Replace my fragments, Kissing would be hell and heaven, Screaming back and forth, Arguments, We'll never get into one, I love more than the sun, If I could blow it for you I would, Maybe, Do something your feelings never could, I miss you violet.

"Violet"
We know you, and your little dark colors too. A picture book in your purse penned in mustaches on the full faces of your fare. We call you from bed, 8 o' clock in the morning, dog-light you slow wander the Peruvian darkness making jellyfish tentacles with your hands while you feel your way through Salem. We're colder than night and we wake thrice the bits of your day gig. You collapse in a green field of dandelion where thrushes drown you in Brown. We gorge ourselves on mango slivers, pineapple yolks, a half of grapefruit. We know you are close to your end. On the tops of the cities you call to your lycan friends, the half-sick and muted bray allures them to you, from Bratislava and Mimon, the thoroughfare through the suq. We wait. The foregone untold, the beep beep jug jug swoop sound of the nightingale, in all her dun glory, we wait. Then, as if descending through the moor-lounging silver smoke, the cool stickiness to your fingertips; the fog. We are there when the blue-less and smoky screen surrounds you, when you shank the auburn Scot hair of the sly fox that stalks, say, a cigarette from your lips. When you take the corners swiftly, gadding the streets. The prize king of vulpicide. You rub its matte fur against your bristly gray beard. And while you lay in your lumps of twelve carat flesh you bleat and you nag. One day you will never come home.
