Hungry with blood lust

Haiku – 10/5/2019
A deserted road
Crawling with night’s thick darkness
Man walking alone
×
His coat held tightly
Bracing against the cold air
Teeth chattering loud
×
A soft sound nearby
Man pauses for a moment
Hurries towards home
×
In the dark bushes
Creature with crimson red eyes
Waits for its moment

Fear Filled Fridays (11/8/2018): 5 Deadly Senses
Sight:
Her common sense fails
She opens the old front door
Slips inside the house
Taste:
Mouth filled with dryness
Her throat turns to sandpaper
Saliva like dirt
Touch:
She feels the floor squish
Hands trace the soft rotten wall
Brush aside cobwebs
Smell:
Her nose sniffs and snorts
Filled with the dusty cold air
Rot, mold, and decay
Hear:
Behind her – footsteps
Creaking across the old floor
Swish of an ax blade
