The Ladies of Horror
Picture-Prompt Writing Challenge!

What grows below?  
by Asena Lourenco 

Sweat beads as it drips down her shirt,

Boils bleed as numb overcomes the hurt,

Arms ache and legs begin lagging below,

Turns become tumbles, the forest’s laugher begins to grow,

The stifling air robbing all of the ability to breathe,

Shrubs stretched mercilessly, hiding the devils underneath,

Dozens of eyes gawk cruelly as they take in the wondrous display,

Another victim taken by the creatures, 

as they celebrate the victorious day.
