The Ladies of Horror
Picture-Prompt Writing Challenge!
Soul Collector
by Asena Lourenco
She stood there, unblinking.
As her eyes pierced my soul,
And in that moment, quickly sinking,
Was my body into stone,
And then the silver metal appeared,
Hiding behind her skin,
The one that was to be feared,
A blade with past of sin,
Strands of hair fell in front,
Of her obsidian eyes,
But the blade, all but blunt,
Reflected the dark inside,
From the room there came,
Silent but screeching calls,
Different but still the same,
Begging to leave those walls.
