The Ladies of Horror
Picture-Prompt Writing Challenge!

In the Dead of the Night 
by Rie Sheridan Rose 

The silent night

Closes around me

Damp with the mists

Of midnight.

.

Reversing the days

To a quieter time.

Cigarette smoke

Drifts upward as I walk.

.

My footfalls click

On the concrete sidewalk.

On the hunt…

Looking for souls.

.

I hunger for more

Than souls.

It’s been too long

Since I have fed.

Dark Poetry

Poems exploring hell and damnation. Tales of sorrow, vengeance, betrayal, and redemption. Ghosts, ghouls, and demons stalk these pages. Don’t read in a lonely house…in a darkened room by a single candle…
