Inferno of fear
 |
| PC: Borrowed from the internet |
The wind was screeching
numbing sleet gnawed my limbs
as I plodded through the knotted creepers and purple lotuses
when a blood curdling bellow
imploded behind me
I turned
to look and a
scream rose and
shattered
down my throat
A gargantuan beast with
dripping fur and slobbery tongue
eyes
like a million menacing daggers
Pierced right
through me
And then she
moved ,in one giant leap
she pinned
me down
her nails
and fangs
tracing
scarlet creases
across my
face, across my limbs
I saw her
teeth drip slick crimson froth
sheer
black terror gripped my heart
and yet I
managed to give a mighty heave
staggering
to my feet I bounded indoors
and
closed the doors behind me
I
stumbled across the hall through the corridor
Dragging my
bloody knees
I could
hear the lusty growls behind me
I crawled
across the kitchen floor-
The growls
still behind outside
I slumped down on the frosty tiles
I closed my eyes- icy terror racing
through
my gory veins
suddenly
I sensed a slimy fiery trail
snaking
down my neck
I start
and open my eyes to find
steely menacing
eyes slicing into me
fetid frothy
breath and crimson dribble
splattered
onto my face
I froze
and the darkness swallowed me…
