10th Dec Prompt 2018 from Hades Lord of the Dead: The Scream.

The Scream


A piercing scream: a chilling sound

Across the Moor, as mists surround

This bleak and cold and dreadful place.

A tragic and unsettling case;

Where myths and ghostly tales abound.

~0~

A figure huddled on the ground;

A horror struck, distorted face,

Reflecting soul deep terror found.

A piercing scream.

~0~

A mournful howling echoes round.

No bittern's booming calls resound

Across this lost, forgotten space;

Instead, at large, the devil's hound.

A piercing scream.
