The Ladies of Horror
Picture-Prompt Writing Challenge!

Unbound
by Ela Lourenco

..

Men have searched for aeons

They have perished, withered

And turned to dust

Digging, seeking without finding

They have been driven insane

By their lust for success

Leaving behind their families

Condemning their very souls

To possess the power,

The book of the dead

That real yet mythical creation

Which contains secrets unholy.

Curses forgotten, made invisible by greed

Deep under the sands of the desert

Buried in the bowels of the Earth itself

It has finally been found.

Not even the Pharaoh’s cunning

Could keep it hidden forever

And now it has been unbound…
